Cyclopedia of locomotive engineering, with examination questions and answers; a practical manual on the construction care and management of modern locomotives . w instrument, the old fittings, if they are good, neednot be disturbed. The construction of the starting arrangements is suchthat the screw attachment can be readily substituted forthe lever-handle, should the former method be preferred, Directions for Application. Place the injector abovewater level in tender. Take steam from dome, or high-est part of boiler, through dry pipe. This will insurethe best effects. Instructions to Operate the Injector. With Leve)Motion. To start: Pull out the lever a short distanceto lift the water; when water runs from the overflow,steadily draw back the lever until overflow ceases. 368 LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERING Do not increase the steam supply after overflow hasceased. Regulate for quantity with water-valve W To stop: Push in the lever. With Screw Motion. To start: Open the steam valveone-quarter of a turn to lift the water. When waterruns from the overflow, open steam valve until over-flow ceases. Do not increase the steam supply afteroverflow has Regulate for quantity with water-valve W. To stop: Close steam valve. Note I. To grade injector: Throttle water by valwW; if this is not sufficient, reduce the steam by push-ing in lever handle about iialf-way, and in case of thescrew motion, by screwing in the steam spindle abouthalf-way. 2. To use as a heater: Close valve H and pull outlever all the way, and in case of screw motion openvalve full. At sll other times valve H must be keptopen. INJECTORS, STEAM GAUGES, ETC. 369 3. The heater cock can be worked from the cab bymeans of arm A, adapted for the attachment of anextension rod. Arm A is held on the heater cockspindle by friction, and by loosening cap C it can beset at any angle to suit the most convenient positionfor the extension rod. 4.
