A large number of these traps have been in use for several years, and our experience has been so satisfactory that we have every confidence in recommending them to steam users. The workman- ship and material are of the highest quality, and it is altogether a far superior article to the many cheap bucket traps now on the market.

Strong Intermittent Water Discharge. Quick Cut-off. Will lift its water 2 feet for every 1 lb. steam pressure. Fitted with Valve and Seat of HOPKINSON’S “ PLATNAM ” METAL, which is five times harder than bronze and ad- mirably suitable for with- standing the cutting action of the water. Description. This steam trap is of the open float type, and consists in its simplest form of a Water Chamber A, Float with central guide B, Valve C, Water Inlet Pipe, and Water Discharge Pipe. The dis- charge pipe forms the guide for the float. The valve remains on its seat until the float has sunk low enough to touch the collar on valve; it then immediately begins to discharge. The Gallery or Water Pocket F is an important feature, as it fills with water when the float is at rest; when the float begins to rise from its lowest position, the water thus collected flows through the hole Q into the body A, thus ensuring a rapid elevation of the Float indepen- dent of a small amount of water passing into the trap. The valve is not rigidly connected with the bucket, and it is therefore held on to its seat until the Float acts on the Valve. This device is, therefore, most valuable under all con- ditions or working, but more especially when the volume of water entering the trap is small. Its lifting effect on the Float is indicated by the sharpness with which the water discharge is cut off.
