The column is supportedon bearings which permit it to be rotated through 90 degreesfrom its normal position (i. e., with the horizontal pipe parallelto the track) so as to bring the end of the horizontal pipe overthe engine tank. The column should be arranged to lock parallelto the track. In Fig. 139(7 this is accomplished by means ofthe cam and rollers shown in section MM.
