(3) A brass strainer with an easily replace- able brass screen of large area. A strong, durable accessory which permits practically the complete emptying of the tank by means of the suction hose. usually placed on the suction pipe or suction hose, but some machines are equip- ped with a metal box or well, attached permanently to the botom of the supply tank. This type permits the tank to be drained completely and a simple, easily cleaned strainer is enclosed in the well. These are furnished with only a few makes of machines. The usual types are shown in Fig. 6 (2) and (3). Fig. 6 (2) and similar types always leave an inch or two of liquid in the tank and seemingly have no advantage over the type shown in Fig. 6(3). The latter almost completely drains the tank and seldom clogs if it is at least four inches in di- ameter. These strainers should always be made of brass or some metal which is not corroded by any of the spray liquids. The iron strainers often seen on barrel pumps are entirely too small, and rarely last more than two or three seasons, even if the machine receives normal care. The screen on the suction- pipe strainer should be readily replace- able in case it is damaged in any way. Fig. 5.
