. Sanitary engineering : a guide to the construction of works of sewerage and house drainage, with tables for facilitating the calculations of the engineer. ve a greater rate of inclination thanthat theoretically requisite to render them self-cleansingwhen provided with a sufficient body of water.

The means usually providedfor flushing house-drains consist of a tank similar tothe manhole, Fig. 64, page 292, which may be filledup with water ; or, in other cases, the ordinary sewagemay be made to act as shown in Fig. 67, page 294. The flush tank of Mr. Eogers Field, , is shown inFig. 68, page 295, and Figs. 145 and 146, opposite 145 is a section of a small flush tank that maybe used as a yard gully, or in any position in which gulliesare usually required. G is the grating through which the HOUSE DKAINAGE. 483 drainage enters the gully, T is the trap on the inlet into Figs. 145 andthe tank, and S represents the syphon at the end. Aventilating pipe is fitted to the tank in the position Fig. shown. In Fig. 146 SS represents the position of thesyphon at the end of the tank, and W the weir with its Fig. 147. Fig. 146.
