The Monitor Injector. (Figs. 166-167, made by theNathan Manufacturing Co., New York.) The properposition of this injector is in the cab above the levelof the water in tender, convenient to engineer. Shouldthe Monitor have to be placed outside, it must be pro-vided with connecting rods extending into the should be taken from dome or highest part ofboiler to insure best effects. Its Range, It does not waste water at overflow by 3^4 LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERING ordinary variation of working steam pressure, butsteadily performs its duty, whether the water-valve iswide open or throttled down until almost shut. Steadiness. It works steadily, whether the engine isrunning fast or slow; v/hile reversing, applying brakes,and during ordinary stoppages. It is also capable of.

It is provided with an independent lift-ing jet, which enables the injector to start promptly atall times. This is a peculiar feature and very impor*tant, because it allows the injector to start as promptlyafter doing its duty as a heater cock, as at first. Flanged Monitors. Since 1885 the body of the Moni-tor has been divided into two parts, which are firmly INJECTORS, STEAM GAUGES, ETC. 36$ held together by a double flange securely bolted. Thisvery convenient arrangement enables the interior partsto be taken out readily, for cleaning or renewal, whennecessary, without injury to the injector. Recent Improvements.
