Cyclopedia of locomotive engineering, with examination questions and answers; a practical manual on the construction care and management of modern locomotives . Figure 202 Automatic Steam Chest Plugs andValves INJECTORS, STEAM GAUGES, ETC. 413 before the reservoir is full. The steam and water pres-sures are hurriedly turned on and the feeds are openedbefore sufficient time has elapsed for sufficient con-densation to accumulate. The feeds will not respondunder such conditions, because the positive and ! negative pressures have equalized, and the lubricator issaid to be air to Overcome. Open all feeds and any one of i the sight feed drain stems. This will allow the waterin the oiT tubes and the air occupying the high-est space in the oil reservoir to escape to atmos- I phere. The New Nathan Triple Sight-Feed Locomotive Lubri- ! cator. Directions for Application. I. Secure the lubri-cator to boiler head or top of boiler by a strong brace,in some such form as illustrated. Fig. 197. 2. Connect top of lubricator to dome, top of boileror bridge pipe by copper or brass tubing, which mustnot be less under any circumstances than |-in. insidem
