To care for the automatic or lowersections of the distributing valve thesame as the upper section, as ex-plained above, it is only necessary forthe repairman to unlock the screwshown in the lower section of printbelow the face plate; this screw con- interlocks pistons and opening ,4 inchtwo-way cock, as shown in air line atfront of bench; this admits air underpiston in cylinder, as shown in print,forcing the piston face plate and valveupward until valve has reached itsproper height, when lockscrew istightened up and J4 inch cock closed,in which position the air from thecylinder escapes to the atmospherethrough a small release port in cock,after which lock-screw holds pistonand valve to the height desired. Whenit is desired to lower valve, all that isnecessary is to unlock screw holdingpiston, and the valve will descend.

The raising and lowering ofthis device is accomplished by un-locking the lower lockscrew. which slowly on account of a sufficient cush-ion being set up to care for the weightof the valve, due to the small openingin the 54-inch cock release port.
