Fig. 2—Device for Lifting Tee-Head to Place. an improvement over the old method of lifting the reservoirin place by screw jacks, which requires considerable blockingand takes a longer time and more help. . TEE-HE.\D. The placing of the tee-head in position in the smoke-box is a hard proposition for two men and an awkwardone for three on account of the restricted space. Withthe device shown in Fig. 2 the work may be done by one man with the help of an overhead crane. It is made of tworods E not less than 1 in. in diameter and formed as shownin the illustration. .\t the wide end the rods are bent andthreaded, and fit in the holes in the tee, as indicated inFig. 3. Collars are welded on the rods to fit against the other bolts are free to slide on the rods to allow for f^o/es fo which kink is faihryed
