TURNS WATER BACK TO TANK

Locomotive Injector Attachment That Does Away With Considerable Annoyance.

In ordinary practice the overflow from locomotive boiler injectors is discharged alongside and near the railroad tracks. In cold weather this overflow freezes, forming coatings of ice

near the tracks in railroad yards, resulting oftentimes in very serious accidents to the railroad employees, and causing constant trouble and expense -in removing it. This invention overcomes these difficulties by providing means for returning the overflow war ter back to the boiler feed Bystem, thus preventing the promiscuous disr charge of the overflow alongside the tracks. —Scientific American.
