Synopsis

Excerpt from Spons' Dictionary of Engineering, Civil, Mechanical, Military, and Naval, Vol. 4: With Technical Terms in French, German, Italian, and Spanish

It will be noticed that each valve has, on its upper side, a short rod 9; this rod has several uses. It serves as a handle to turn the valve, or to take it out of its seat; but its chief use is, when the pump is working, to prevent the valve from rising out of the cylindrical aperture in which it moves.
