DEVICE FOR LIFTING AIR PUMPS The Demand for SteeL The address of General Goethals beforethe American Steel and Iron Institute inNew York cleared aw-ay much of the fogthat has enshrouded the merchant ship-ping program since it was launched. Nowit is apparent that at the maximum thedemands to be made upon the trade willnot exceed 1,000,000 a month, if it ap-proximates that much. This estimatecovers all steel for war purposes, includ-ing that to be furnished to the Allies. Piston Puller for W. A. B. Air Pumps. Hv J. H. Machinist. Norfolk & Western Ry., Bluefxeld, Va.

While the device was designedespecially for the compound pumps, itwill prove equally as serviceable when,il)plied to the pistons of the 9!,4 ins., or11 ins. pumps. The piston puller is attached in theusual way, and the screw tightened, andthen by striking the plunger a few blowswith a sledge the piston is very easilyand readily removed from the rod.
