RETURN TRAP. Blessing raising the water of condensation to ahigher level than the water line of a boiler,to be returned to the boiler by gravityunder equalized pressure. The movable bucket operates a leverand the equalizing valves for dischargingthe water to a receiver by the boiler pres-sure and from the receiver to the boiler bygravity. 130. AUTOMATIC BOILER FEEDER. Feeds water to aboiler on the same principle as the pulsometer. The feeder is placedabout 4 feet above thewater line of the boilerwith water flowing to itby gravity or weight of the wateralternately filling thechambers, carries themdown and opens a steamport in the axial valve tothe boiler pressure, whenthe water flows into the boiler by gravity. At the same time theupper chamber is being filled by the condensation of its steam. It ismade self-acting by having the steam pipe connect to the boiler at thehigh water line, at which point steam can not enter the chamber andthe action stops. The dash
