A transverse section of the Ironclad water gauge on thispage shows how the steam, water and fragments of glassmust escape through indirect passages around the verticalbaflle plate into the ample back space which allows the LOCOMOTIVE Ironclad Water Gauge and Shield LOCOMOTIVE APPLIANCES. 343 escape of steam pressure through the fine mesh screen, whilethe discharge port at the bottom releases the flow of watercarrying safely some of the broken glass to the deck.
