In the last annual report was included areport covering tests made to determinethe action of water in the boiler on thewater-indicating appliances with respect totheir correct registration. These testsestablished that gauge cocks screwed di-rectly in the boiler do not correctly indi-cate the .general water level while steam israpidly escaping from the boiler, and inorder to secure a proper appliance it wasreco
