This type of sprayerwas designed in particular for woodland work and is almost equallyvaluable on wide streets and park areas. Further experience isnecessary before recommending it unqualifiedly for the averagecity street. A serious objection, especially in small communities,is the expense of the equipment, such an outfit costing about $ villages have partially solved the problem by using thelighter outfit and a smaller solid stream nozzle adjusted to thelimited capacity of the engine. This arrangement reduces climb-ing greatly and, so far as tried, has given very good results.
