Often packing is made up in large quantities andbecomes ver\- dr\- before being used: this results in hot boxesor a waste of lubricant, through the excessive use of freeoil, either of which is costly. A system which overcomes the disadvantages of ordinan*. Milwaukee Waste Saturating Tanks vats has been placed on the market by the Milwaukee TankWorks, Milwaukee, Wis. This consists of tanks with anoil re«er\-oir in the lower part and a waste compartment inthe top. A pump is attached to the tank, so that the oil canreadily \jc lifted to the up[ier section. When it is desiredto prepare some packing, the waste is placed in the toj)of the tank and the oil is pumped over it. \\hen it haslx;en immersed for a sufficient length of time, a valve iso[)ened to allow the oil to flow into the bottom tank, leav-ing the to drain on the screen. If the waste ijecomestoo dry it can be .saturated again without removing itfrom the vat. A gage stick at the rear of the tank showsthe amount of oil remaining in it. The Ijottom of the tankcan \>e cleiined, if neressar}, through an opening in the front provided for that purpose. The tanks are manufac-tured in various sizes. All are closely riveted and solderedand are fitted with dust-proof covers. The u
