SAFETY DEFENDS on TT

More than all the rest of the ma
chlnery on a boat, be it stern or side
wheeler. the steering gear is one of the
essential and most eXacting pieces of
machinery made. On this unit of deli
cately running mechanism depends the
guidance and safety of a vessel, and it
must be made of sensitive running parts
for quick action. yet withal built on
simple, durable and reliable lines, at
the same time the easiest to operate
The parts consist, as shown in the cut
of a pair Of small steam engines, con-
nected at right angles to crank shaft
on which is a screw or worm, meshing
into a worm wheel. This worm wheel
is keyed on to the winding drum shaft,
which is supported on stands between
and above the engines.
The winding drum runs free on the
shaft when disengaged from the clutch,
or revolves with ii when engaged, the
clutch being operated by lever in the
pilot house.
The engines are controlled, started,
stopped or reversed by levers in the
pilot house that move the controlling g
valve, which is also geared to the wind
ing drum shaft in such a manner that

moved 10 port or starboard, the engines

TROCADERO TO BE
A VACATION CAMP
Well Known Roadside Resort TO
Take On a New Phase
of City Life

Great changes are planned at the
Trocadero grounds near Sloat boule-
ward and a lease of the property has
been secured for the purpose of ,estab-
fishing there an employment school
and a vacation camp, which is to be
rather particularly for gentlewomen.
Under the direction of Miss Henri
cite Richardson, who is we'll known in
San Francisco, useful avocations will
be taught such as designing. interior
and poultry raising. Each student on
entering will pay a fee of s10. which is
not to be her own money She must
borrow 81 from each of 10 acquaint-
ances, the money to be paid back
within the year with products of the
school work. Bonds or shares at 81
each will be sold to the public also
and in this way it is proposed to secure
financial means for a beginning.
The domestic science class Will sup
ply the food and this will be open 10
the public also, who will find the tea
room or restaurant conveniently sit
uated.
The vacation camp. which will be
opened next week, Will accommodate
about so people, who will sleep out of
doors. The dressing rooms will be in
doors or in tents provided for the
purpose.
Plans were afoot among a number of
residents of that vicinity of the city
to secure the Trocadero grounds and
establish something on the order of
a country club. but they have decided
to cooperate with the vacation camp
and many will plan to spend their
weekends there.

ing position and then stop, and so on,

house always showing the position of
the rudder, the worm gearing holding
the rudder firmly in any position in
which it is placed.
CAN STEER BY HAND
If for any reason it is desired to
steer by hand. which is one of the
emergency features. the clutch can be
thrown out by the lever in the pilot
house. The drum then runs free and
the rudders are controlled by the hand
steering wheel. On the strength of
this particular feature, in preference
to all other steering gears, the local
made unit is making a reputation all
over the country and supplanting all
other makes as well. Aside from that
the machine is given preference for
its other commendable qualities al
ready mentioned. This is made man
ifest when it is known that only last
month the Southern Pacific company
adopted for their standard steering
gear, to be used on all their boats,
this unit, at the same time giving or
ders for two side wheeler or double
end boats and one for a stern wheeler.
The company makes the gears in
two sizes-one size has engines three
inches bore by six inches stroke and
the other has engines four inches
bore by six inches stroke. With the
gear they furnish. in addition to the
machine shown in cut, two chain
sheaves, with shaft and bearings, to
be placed under the deck, below the
engines, for fair leaders for tiller
chains; also the Dutch lever for pilot
house, and two brass steering levers

pany's boats. the steamers, Melrose,

DEEP WELL PUMP
The other machine shown is a double
acting deep well steam pump for arte
sian or deep wells. 1t demonstrates
that steam pressure is still more than
desired commodity by the use of diff
ferent combination of steam pumps and
steam cylinders made compound when
desired for saving steam.
The distinguishing feature of these
pumps, which is very interesting and
likewise practical, outside of the engine
part in which they retain the crank
and fywheel movement and single
steam slide valve, the same as in the
other pumps, is in the double acting
pump or water cylinder invented and
designed for this particular purpose
and so constructed that it can be low
cred down into an artesan well to any
depth that may be required and worked
direct by the engine at the surface.
They are the only double acting pumps
made for the purpose in the country,
the common form of deep well pump
being a single acting lift pump down in
the well with d displacement plunger at
the surface, in which on the up stroke
water is taken into the pump. raised to
the surface and half of it discharged
and on the down stroke the other half
is discharged, thus making a nearly
continuous stream from the discharge
pipe, but no water is taken into the
pump on the down stroke, which is Il
! disadvantage, while the double acting
pumps take in raise and discharge the
same quantity of water on both the
down and up stroke, giving a continu-
Gus stream of water and a steady flow
| into the well.
