American stationary engineering; a practical work which begins at the boiler room and takes in the whole power plant. int, which will now be described. 302 Maxims and Instructions, LEAD PIPE JOINTS, First place a small piece of paper under the joint to catch thesurplus solder D and begin soldering as follows: Take the felt Fin the right hand and with it hold the ladle three parts full ofsolder. To see that it is not too hot hold your hand within 3inches or so of the solder; if it quickly burns your hand it istoo hot; if you can only just hold your hand this distance, useit; but if you cannot feel the heat, the solder is too cold. When you begin to pour your solder upon the joint do itvery lightly and not too much at a time in one place, but keepthe ladle moving backward and forward, pouring from E to J,first on one side of the joint to the other and from end to end. Pour also an inch or two up the soiling, as shown at E tomake the pipe of proper temperature, i. e., to the Same heat asthe solder. The further, in reason, the heat is run or takenalong the pipe, the better the chance of making the Fig. 160 a. Keep pouring and with the left hand hold the cloth C tocatch the solder and also cause the same to tin the lower side ofthe pipe and to keep the solder from dropping down. Thiscloth, so important in joint making is elsewhere the process of steady pouring the solder now becomes niceand soft and begins to feel shaped, firm and bulky. When in this shape and in a semi fluid condition quickly putthe ladle down, and instantly with the left hand shape one sideof the joint always beginning at the outsides, or at that part Maxims and Instructions. 303 LEAD PIPE JOINTS,next the soiling; then take the cloth in the right hand and dothe other siiie, finishing on the top; a light run of the cloth, allround the joint will, if the solder has not set and you have beenquick with your work, give the appearance of a turned a little practice the joint
