Automatic siphonic apparatus as used in sewerage systems and in sewage purification plants . the beds to the final outfall•The timing chamber contains the blow off trap, compressed airdome and draining siphon• The sewage flows from the bed into the siphon chamber, butat no time is a head obtained sufficient to start the largesix):(ion* Prom the siphon chamber some of the sewage flows intothe timing chamber througji the small pet cock* The flow througjithis pet cock is regulated so that it will just fill the timingchamber in the required time of contact* As the water rises in the timing chamber it compresses theair in the dome, and when sufficient head is procured, blows theseal out of the blow off trap* This trap being connected throughthe wall witli the main siphon, upon having its seal blown, re-leases the air in the main siphon and starts it in operation* The water is drawn from the bed and at the same time thewater in the timing chamber ie withdrawn through the auxiliarydraining siphon into the main siphon and then into the outfall* Plate MILLER TIMEU -28- The drawings and designs used in the printed plates weremade by the writer of the thesis while in the employ of S«W«Miller during the time he was engaged in the invention anddevelopment of tJie forms of the Miller controlling apparatusand the improvement of the Adams Feeds herein described. Thedetails of the apparatus, the proportioning of the parts, andthe design and arrangement of the sewage purification plantswith the exception of that shown in Plate XlVb were made by thewriter. ^#^ m. - ? ? # r ^ ^ >, .f:
