ASHLEYS SAFETY AUTOMATIC GAUGE-COCK Tin- gauge-cock is especially adapted t locomotive andportable boilers, as will appear from the description. It sen » -into the boiler or water column, as shown in the sectional view shows two valves, and two valve seats in valve from its seat a short distance, when the pin attached tothe back of the first valve would strike the face of the secondvalve and force it from its seat. The steam would then flowthrough the spiral wings of the second valve and through thefirst valve into the atmosphere, in its passing causing the sec-ond valve to rapidly revolve by its action on the spiral wingsor flanges, thus cutting loose all scale or sediment which mayhave lodged in the valve chamber; the steamblowing through would carry the sediment with itand cleanse the valve. If the engineer lets go ofthe handle, the pressure of steam would instantlyforce the valves to their seats ; but as the second orflanged valve comes
