Take coldwater to the apparatus out of, and put hot water backinto, the pipe that supplies water for washing with coldwater, always putting in a stop valve or cock betweenthe connections. The hot water from the apparatuswill pass with great force through the same pipe, hose,nozzles, etc., as are used with cold water. This apparatus has connection for 2-in. pipes, andTiost be located where the water will flow to it 426 LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERING THE ELECTRIC HEADLIGHT A good headlight is a very necessary part of theequipment of a locomotive.
