Thereservoir and piping system is shown inFig. I. A detailed view of the valve be-tween the hopper and reservoir is shownin Fig. 3. This valve controls the pas-sage of sand frotn the hopper by tneansof a S-inch cylinder above the valve, thelatter being at the lower end of thepiston, wfiich is operated by air, and isin the position shown when sand is beingelevated to the supply pockets. All sand is screened after entering thechutes by passing through a steel w^ire.
