The ejector or jet pump is designed for use atrailroad water stations, on construction trains, foremptying wheel pits and similar railroad Fig. Ejector. It is a device, simple in construction, compact inform, convenient to handle, has no movable parts andcannot get out of order. Fig. 2 shows the position in which an ejector shouldbe placed for high elevations. For lifting only theejector can be placed at the boiler level. Where it is required to lift water ten feet or overit is advisable to place a foot-valve on the lowerend of the suction pipe. All ejectors, if properly constructed, will lift waterto a height of twenty-five feet, but for elevating LOCOMOTIVE APPLIANCES. 175 over twenty-five feet the ejector should be placednear the water level and a delivery pipe one sizelarger than the connections used.
