We have at the Marquette, of the Duhith, South Shore &Atlantic, made an improvement on thismachine, by utilizing the steam end ofscrapped Westinghouse air pump {A),which is fited to shaft (B) but allowedto oscillate on it. To the piston rod ofthis cylinder is fitted a ratchet arm (C)provided with a pawl for reversing themotion, this being done by valve setter,by means of reverse motion rod (D). The machine is worked by air, andby means of an exhaust valve (£) thevalve setter controls its operation. Byholding this valve in his hand and press-ing the button attached to valve stem,he allows air to exhaust, thus startingthe machine, then by relaxing the pres-sure of his hand, stops the machine. Airpressure is on whether the machine isbei
