. Railway mechanical engineer . Fig. 1—Cross Section of a Set of V Pilot Packing slotted, the slots being staggered to prevent the escape ofsteam down the rod. The slots serve another useful purposeby retaining oil for the lubrication of the rod. A hasty glanceat Fig. 1 may give the impression that there are two pieces of metal instead of one, but on closer examination the V-shapeof the solid, white metal bar is apparent. V Pilot Packing has a resilient, pliable back, fitting itfor many uses for which purely metallic packing is not. Fig. 2—View Showing Flexibility of New Packing adapted. Its extreme flexibility, as shown in Fig. 2, per-mits its use on small rods and provides easy and quick ad-justment. This packing has successfully passed the experi-mental stage and demonstrated its value by extended testsunder actual working conditions, having shown unusuallylong life and resultant economy. It has a wide range of ap-plication and is used by railroads for air pumps, boiler feedpumps (steam and water ends), valve stems, throttle stems,power reverse gear rods, stationary air compressors, steamengines, hot and cold water pumps, ammonia pumps, round-house washout pumps, power plant feed water pumps, pump-ing station (steam or water glands), steam other purposes. V Pilot Packing is supplied boxedand ready for immediate service and is applied in the samemanner as ordinary fibrous packing.
