(48) A. B. L., Rochester, N. Y., asks:Can you tell me what the solder is for where the wings of supply valve joinsbody? A.—The valve has probably de-veloped a sand hole or proved porous, andthe solder was placed there to make thevalve airtight. (49) H. H., Wyniore, Neb., asks:What kind of oil is best for use in the air cylinder of the pump? A.—A crudewell oil which lubricates, cleanses andleaves no residue is best. Where a goodbodied well oil cannot be had, valve or cyl-inder oil in spare quantities should beused. Any oil that causes heating or leavesa deposit should be instantly discontinued. valve air we presume chamber D pres-sure in the equalizing reservoir and abovethe piston is meant. No; this air is heldimprisoned in an emergency applicationuntil it leaks past the equalizing pistonring into the train pipe. The equalizingpiston also remains inert during an emer-gency application.
