There is but one restriction on theiruse. They will work only with contact beds, water tigjit beds. As is shown in the drawing on the next page, the feed itselfconsists of but one casting, that shown at (A) in the section on j(A-B). However there is some auxiliary apparatus such as com-pressed air domes, blow off traps and over draw siphons necessaryto its operation. | The drawing shows a receiving basin containing two feedswhich will alternate and fill their respective beds, the same asdid the siphons. The sewage flows from the septic tank into the receivingba
