Not illustrated. 1902 Excerpt: ... be done by attention to the printed directions, is ready for work. Steam being admitted through the steam pipe K (by opening to a small extent the stop-valve), passes down that side of the steam neck which is left open to it by the position of the steam ball, and presses upon the small surface of water in the chamber which is exposed to it, depressing it without any agitation and, consequently, with but very slight condensation, and driving it through the discharge opening and valve into the rising main. "The moment that the level of the water is as low as the horizontal orifice which leads to the discharge, the steam blows through with a certain amount of violence, and being brought into intimate contact with the water in the pipes leading to the discharge chamber, an instantaneous condensation takes place, and a vacuum is in consequence so rapidly formed in the just-emptied chamber that the steam ball is pulled over into the seat opposite to that which it had occupied during the emptying of the chamber, closing its upper orifice and preventing the further admission of steam, so allowing the vacuum to be completed; water rushes in immediately through the suction pipe, lifting the inlet valve E, and rapidly fills the chamber A again. Matters are now in exactly the same state in the second chamber as they were in the first chamber when our description commenced, and the same results ensue." The makers further state that the "change is so rapid that, even without an air vessel on the delivery, but little pause is visible in the flow of water, and the stream is, under favourable circumstances, very nearly continuous. The air-cocks are introduced to prevent the too rapid filling of the chambers on low lifts and for other purposes, and a very lit...
