It also preventsthe rusting of iron in the coal space oftank, caused by the combined action ofmoisture and coal. This device is automatic in its operation,simple and cheap in its construction, andwe guarantee it to make a saving of 50per cent, in cylinder oil and 2 per cent, infuel. We give below a record of Chicago, , Minneapolis & Omaha Railwayengine 160, before and after being equippedwith this device. The general average for Air Pump Eihuust Drip valve.
