The Little Giant Locomotive Injectors, Fig. 169, madeby the Rue Manufacturing Co., Philadelphia, havebeen on the market for many years. This injector issimple in construction, and is not liable to get out oforder. These injectors are fitted with a movable combiningtube, operated by a lever which allows them to beadjusted to work correctly at different pressures ofsteam, and under the many conditions which injectorsare required to work.

Have the combining tube in position toallow a sufficient quantity of water to condense thesteam when the starting valve is full open, then openthe starting valve slightly; when water shows at over-flow, open full. Regulate the water by moving thecombining tube. To use as a heater, close overflowby moving the combining tube up against the dis-charge, then open starting valve enough to admit thequantity^of steam required.
