Modern Steam Traps (English and American)

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Few fittings of general utility in engineering work shops and factories have received such a vast amount of ingenuity and engineering skill of a high order expended upon their design, etc, as have modern steam traps. They have made their influence felt in almost every branch of manufacture, and now being an integral part of every installation they may be seen almost everywhere in daily use draining steam-pipe ranges — this being perhaps the most extended use to which they have been put — draining steam heaters, steam-jacketed kettles, steam presses, engine cylinders, steam-jacketed cylinders, paper-machine cylinders, air and gas receivers, vulcanisers, railway carriage heating appliances, etc.
