Synopsis

Excerpt from Canadian Journal of Fabrics, Vol. 15: The Journal of the Textile Trades of Canada; July 1898

Especially in the steaming of heavy beavers, a good supply of steam is necessary. The mistake of making the steam pipe connections too small is fre quent. Supposing, with a half-inch pipe, we had a pound pressure, and had an unlimited, supply of steam there? Would we get unlimited power through that half - inch pipe? N o. The quantity of steam which would run down would be limited. Only a certain quantity could flow, because of the size of the pipe be ing small. If there were a pipe twice as large we would get twice as much steam. And if the pressure were twice as great, we would obtain about twice as much steam also. If the head were only of 500 pounds' pressure, we would get about one-half as much steam per minute as with the pressure at pounds. With the machine right and steam pipes in order we are ready to begin work.
