pressed grifOrm bodies by means Of some
known mechanical power. The lorce-pninpS
A. A., rcfrigeratinc-pipeS T. I" Z" r. ana
main reservoir are stationary, as SHOWN IN Iht
drawing, and the compressed gaseous mediums
are transferred from the fOrce-pump or pumps
or main pipes, or from this uAeu mann Eesfl-
