Editor: There lias always been a difference ofopinion among firemen about the rela-tive advantages of high pressure andlow pressure steam, a belief being wide-spread that an even steam pressure canbe more easily maintained with lowpressure than with high pressure. Whenthe intensely high boiler pressure cameinto vogue many engineers and firementhought that they could do better bypermitting the steam to fall 20 more below the popping point andkeeping it there.
