Sometimesthree-step cone pulleys are substituted in place of theengine. Spiral Scoops. In the past it has been almost the universal custom wherecylinder drying machines are used to fit the cylinders withwhat is known as a bucket scoop for lifting and dischargingthe exhaust water which accumulates in the cylinder. Live 1008 Atlanta, Ga., STUART W. CRAMER, Charlotte, N, C. Spiral Scoops^ steam enters the cylinder at one end through the hollowjournal, and this bucket discharges the water at the oppo-site end. For a great many reasons this bucket scoop hasnever done satisfactorily the work for which it was the first place, as universally constructed, it does not reachinto the cylinders more than 24 inches from the head; henceit is evident there must always be a considerable quantity ofwater which it cannot reach at once and which flows graduallytoward the bucket. As the speed of the C3dinder increases, thewater is acted upon more and more by centrifugal force, whichtends toward keeping the water against the surface of theshell of the can and prevents its discharge by gravity. Theefficiency of the bucket scoop is therefore proportionately re-duced and at a certain speed the bucket scoop practicallyceases to operate. It requires but a very small quantity ofwater in a cylinder to materially reduce the surface heat,a
