Co. NEW YORK. 16 Warren St., 16-24 Woodward Avenue, DETROIT, MICH. A NEW INJECTOR FOR MARINE USE. We illustrate herewith a most remarkable improvement in automatic injectors, especially designed for marine boilers where it is desired to carry very high steam pres- sures, or with ordinary steam pressures of 75 pounds to 125 pounds to handle a very hot water supply. It has always been considered impossible with an auto- matic injector to obtain:a wider working range than from 20 pounds to 25 pounds low pressure up to 145 pounds to 155 pounds high pressure with an ability to handle hot water at 120 degrees at 60 pounds to 80 pounds steam pres- sure, and 95 to 100 degrees at 125 pounds’ steam pressure. With the improved injector here illustrated, there is ob- tained a working range of from 15 pounds low pressure to 250 pounds high pressure, and at the same time an ability to handle water at 140 to 145 degrees with 65 pounds to 80 pounds steam; 135 to 140 degrees at 100 pounds steam, and 119 to 122 degrees at 150 pounds steam. A reference to the cut will show that the construction of this injector is en- tirely different from that of any other injector on the mar- ket. It will be noticed that there is an outlet from the cham- ber in which the delivery jet H is located, and which is termed the pressure chamber, around the valve L to the FAC-SIMILE OF A 6-INCH SECTION OF 193-195 Bank Street, CLEVELAND, O.

ECLIPSE GASKET SHOWING NAME AND TRADE-MARK IMBEDDED, overflow, while in every other injector ever made there is no outlet from this chamber except into the boiler. In starting this injector, therefore, the only pressure to be overcome is the atmospheric pressure, the water passing through the jet H into the pressure chamber, and then out around the valve L, which gradually closes as the current to the boiler is established, this valve being thereafter held to its seat by the full boiler pressure in the pressure cham- ber referred to, which also acts through this valve upon the valve K, as when both the valves L and K are seated, the end of the valve L comes against the end of the valve K, holding it firmly to its seat by the back pressure from the pressure chamber referred to, thus accomplishing auto- matically that which in positive injectors requires two or three valves to be operated by the engineer in charge. This form of construction enables the injector to handle a very hot water supply and still be automatic. This in- jector is being placed on the market in the United States and Canada by the Penberthy Inspector Co., 128 Seventh street, Detroit, Mich., who have purchased the rights for these two countries from the International Specialty Co., having much improved the construction of the machine over the original form in which it was placed on the mar- ket by the International Specialty Co., something over a year ago, A scheme is proposed to make Cadillac a port town connecting Clam Lakes with the Manistee River, says the Cadillac News and Express. If connected with the big lake, Clam Lake, upon which it is located, would be a mag- nificent harbor. It is already connected with Twin Lakes, the three forming a chain over six miles in length extend- ing directly west towards Manistee. As near as can be estimated without actual survey, it would require less than thirty miles of canal across the country between Manistee River and Twin Lakes. It is said that should a future candidate enter the field for Congress from the district upon the issue “For the improvement of the Manistee River to Cadillac,” he would receive the solid vote, re- gardless of party affiliations of Wexford and Manistee counties,
