On the down steam pipe from the domeis attached a flexible hose on one is for heating the water in whichthe white-wash is mixed. The branchgoing towards the front of the boilerleads to a little inspirator which suppliesthe boiler with water drawn from a tank,situated immediately under the smoke-box, containing 350 gallons of water. Thesteam pipe then continues down, to oper-ate the little steam pump. The air pump exhausts into the smoke-box, and the exhaust from the steam stead of at the machine, as is done withthe white-wash. , Also, on that side of the car is ar-ranged a pneumatic blower for cleaningout the tubes.
