For the top valves theblade is in the position shown in theplan view and for the bottom valves theblade is reversed as shown in side view. The only exact size is the length Aand the length of the blade which mustbe as much longer than A as the lift ofthe valve is to be. This gauge is veryeasy to use and there is absolutely nochance for error, in fact there is no workfor the eye at all, as there are no figuresor graduations of any kind on the gauge,which makes it

This gauge is veryeasy to use and there is absolutely nochance for error, in fact there is no workfor the eye at all, as there are no figuresor graduations of any kind on the gauge,which makes it especially valuable in theroundhouse or in places where the lightis poor. The gauge shown in the figure is forthe 9y2 ins. Westinghouse pump, and tomake a gauge for the 11 ins. and cross-compound Westinghouse and the Nos. 5and 6 New York pumps or any otherpumps it is only necessary, using thesame design, to increase the size to cor-respond to the caps, valve chambers andcages of the larger pumps. In order toobtain any lift of valve desired it is onlynecessary to use the proper length blade, 3, 76. )
