This space inside of.

The side ofthe hollow valve is perforated by a hole, E, one eighthinch diameter, that can be brought to coincide withany one of the 16 outlet holes at the base of oil supply 276 LOCOMOTIVE APPLIANCES. reservoir, that each connects with a line of pipe to agiven bearing. There are 16 notches on the upper rimof the lubricator, that when lever is brought to engagewith any one of these notches the hole in the side ofconical valve then coincides with a given hoJe, in base,to outlet pipe. When the lever is thus placed for anybearing desired to supply with oil, the valve shownattached to base, and connected to either steam orair pressure, is opened, and pressure enters throughsmall valve C, into the oil discharge reservoir, closingvalves B and D, and forcing contents of oil dischargereservoi
