No straight pipeswill be received that will lay less than 11 feet 8 inches; but itis understood that not more than two per cent, of the totalnumber of pipes required in each class may be lo feet or morein length, produced by properly cutting off in a lathe a defect-ively cast spigot end. The form and dimensions of the huband spigot ends of all pipes and castings shall be subject to theapproval of the Engineer, when specific drawings therefor arenot furnished by him, and shall conform accurately in shapeand dimensions to all drawings that may be furnished by himfrom time to time. (See accompanying figure for these dimensions for the standard water pipe.).
