complete system of pipes with the pump
rooms, where are powerful duplex pumps
for handling the cargo, with connections to
all the sea valves and manifolds. About
six hours is sufficient to discharge the
cargo. The ten-inch mains have bell
mouth suction connections fitted with in
dependent valves tested for an oil pres

designed to stand the action of salt water

upper deck by means of valve rods fitted
with connections. The square iron boxes

the oil rises and falls with the barometer

some public institution was selected as the
