. Modern mechanism, exhibiting the latest progress in machines, motors, and the transmission of power, being a supplementary volume to Appletons' cyclopaedia of applied mechanics . FiG. 9.—Button steam flre-eugine. 264 ENGINES, FIRE, STEAM. placed in a few hours. The water, in entering at D, is separated into two parts, and theninto four parts, by a patent device inserted in the dividers at the bottom, so that each sectiongets its equal amount of water in proportion to the number of feet of pipe in the section. At. ii are the grate-bars, and at 17 the water-line. The makers olaiin that from 31 to 40 gallonsof water can bo carriifl without intorfering with tin; generation of steam, that steam canbe generated as readily with 38 gallons of water as with 30 gallons, and that in sutlieientfpiantity for the engine to throw water from a nozzle in 4 niin. from the time of lightingthe fire. The AniosfiPUf) Firc-Etifline has an upright tubular boiler and a double-acting andvertical piston-pump. The following results of tests of a first-size engine of this type aregiven by the manufacturers, as determined at Syracuse, X. Y., in August. 1SS5 : Height ofengine over all, !» ft. 1 in. ; length over all. 2\ ft. 2 in.; width over all, (> ft.; weight withoutsupplies, about, M,()()0 ]l)s.; capacity, 900 gallons per min. Horizontal streams wore thrownthrough smooth-bore nozzles as follows: ^-in. nozzle. 334 ft.; U-in. nozzle, 334 ft. ; l|, 32!) ft.; IS-in. nozzle. 31(» ft. ; two streams, U-in.
