I have not been j able to see either the contrivance or an)' speciti- cation of it. j "The Binkley Atomizer.—This sprinkler, invented but not patented by Mr. J. N. Binkley, | of Columbus, Tex., and herewith illus- trated, is one of the simplest and yet one of the best in use. Fig. iii, A, represents it in operation with a part of the pump. This pump is the usual double-acting force-pump secured to the top of a barrel containing the licjuid. The letter a represents the pump cyl- inder, b the air chamber, and c a trans- verse tin pipe connected with the dis- charge pipe of the pump and having four of the atomizing nozzles. Fig. Ill, B, shows a side view of the atom- izer on a somewhat larger scale. A conical tin piece, (/, is soldered to the pipe c, having at its end an orifice much larger than the fine perforations of the previous machines described. A circular tin plate, f, is soldered to the lower side of the cone d, so that the jet of water issuing with great force from the orifice, strikes the plate at an obtuse angle and is scattered in very fine and far reaching spray. The large orifice permits smaller objects to be thrown out with the jet, larger objects being prevented by a strainer from entering the pump, while by a slight bending of the distributing-plate, so as to bring it at more acute angles with the nozzle, the spray may be thrown more and more upward. The whole machine is very light and simple and easily made by any tinsmith at comparatively trifling cost. The principal drawback to it as at present con- structed by Mr. Binkley is that it is made in one piece, so that in case a larger object obstructs the orifice there is some difficulty in removing the same. " This defect could be easily reme- died by making the cone in two pieces, the nozzle itself to be screwed on to the basal or soldered piec
