(b) Three barometric condensers, built by Williamson Bros., in connection with Crane & Company, of Philadelphia, whowere also the sub-contractors for the circulating and airpumps. These condensers are capable of maintaining avacuum of 28 ins., and are designed to condense 60,000lbs; of ^team per hour with circulating water at a tem-perature of 70 degs. F. The approximate ratio of con-densing water to steam condensed is (q) Three dry air pumps, built by T. P. Morris & Company, ofsufficient capacity to fulfil the guarantees given with the: condensers.
