Any amount and distribu-tion of piping that may be found desirable can therefore bemade in a car, the capacity of the commingler being fullyassured. With this system, it is stated, there is no need of inspection,since the pipes are kept constantly full from the can be readily applied to cars already equipped with hot-water apparatus, without the addition of new pipes. There isno danger of the system becoming air-bound, as the over-flow-pipe is connected to the air space within the expansiondrum, and thus permits the compressed air to escape as thewater of the circulating system expands. No air pressure cantherefore be generated within the circulating pipes, and this. Fig. I.
