In the exhaust pipe and between the pumps and cylinders isplaced a shut-off gate at E, to close the exhaust from the cyl-inders to the tank if desired; also a gate at F where the pumpexhausts may be cut off from the tank and delivered to thefront end. The suction pipe for water pump is arranged to draw water.
