The heads arefaced, packed and held to each other bythrough bolts running from one to theother, the length of the tube. The upper head is cast with a lugthrough which a pin passes by which itand with it the tube is suspended from an The air is admitted to and exhaustedfrom the two ends of the cylinder by afour-way cock, the construction of whichwill be readily understood by a referenceto the engraving.
