To THE EDrroR OF TuR HERALD:-
In your issue OF this datc appears article
headed ''The Post once Elevators" and signed
.Suirercr," in which the writer makes attempt to
attach portion IL not all the blame to for the
recent accident to of the elevators in this build
ing. and asks to reply TO two questions which ho
propounds, either Of which shows his utter ig-
noranco OF the subject he attempts to write upon.
In reply to his hrst question. which reads. III tho
valves the bottom OF the tubes closed and he
had full steam pressure ON. why on earth the tube
nearest the elevator should descend to the second
tube with such lightning iapidityY' will say.
il the valves at tho bottom OF tho tubes had been
closed therc would havo been no communication be-
tween the pressure aud elevator. When the elevator
is running the pressure and discharge valves arc
always open, the movement of the car being rcgu-
lated by and entirely under the control OF the
conductor by means OF check line running through
the ear and connected with valve which admits the
pressure to raise the car opens tho discharge to
allow ii to descend. As to his second qucston--"If
the pressure was and the valves closed wnere did
the water hnd an cxt?" will state that the water
found au exit in the opening occasioned by tho
breaking OF the pipe
In conclusion. l would suggest to ''Sunerer" that
hereafter, before making charge of neglect of duty
he would inform himself upon the subject he wishes
to write upon.
