The propeller agitators are much more efficient than any other type because of their higher speed, durability, simplicity, and small size. Supply Tanks.—Supply tanks vary in shape and in size. The most popular tank, however, is the round-bottom type. This tank is easily kept tight by screwing up a few nuts on the clamp rods. The principal trouble with all tanks is the difficulty of keeping them water-tight, and when selecting one see that there is an easy way of tightening it up so that it can always be kept tight. A wooden tank is preferable to any metal Fig. 61.—Different types of spray nozzles. 1, three-cluster vermorel; 3, angle Cyclone; S, Bordeaux; 4, Whirlpool; 5, Vapo. Nozzles.—The nozzles used for spraying vary greatly, and several distinct kinds are in use. The nozzle is often the source of considerable trouble, and great care should be used in selecting a good type. Some of the common types of nozzles are the Bordeaux, Cyclone, Whirlpool, Vermorel, of which there is a one-, two-, three-, and a four-cluster vermorel, the Vapo and several others. The different kinds are used for special purposes and no one general-purpose nozzle is very satisfactory. The vapo nozzle is perhaps one of the most satisfactory types and it has largely taken the place of the vermorel. A small, single vapo nozzle has the capacity of a three-cluster vermorel. 9.
