The resilient propertiesof the lead resist the sand blast action, and for that reasonthe traps give very long service. The use of a special engineers sanding valve is recom-mended. VILOCO TYPE K 14-INCH SINGLE ENGINEERS VALVE The 1/4-inch Engineers Valve with warning port formerly used for the control of supply of air to single pneumatic 680 LOCOMOTIVE APPLIANCES. Sanders has not proven satisfactory on account of breakage,and the fact that engineman cannot easily graduate the supplyof air to the sander. Illustration is shown of Type K 14-inch Engineers Valvewhich is interchangeable with the older valves. It has fourgraduations for the supply of air to the sander, with fournotches on the quadrant corresponding to these graduations,and is fitted with a w
