the cell doors. One of the bludg-
cons was a pipe that had been TAX

Of the two fuses, Higgins says, was
found on a second search after he
returned to the train, but when he

ing the wall into which the hole is be-
ing drilled to act as buffer to pre-
vent injury to the casing and to make
relatively tight connection between
the casing and the wall. on one side
Of the casing bent pipe is connected
which extends parallel with the drill
bit. This pipe has its other end con-
nected by an elbow with another pipe
parallel with the drill shell, while the
other end of this pipe is bent down to
connection with the collecting bag,
which is detachable. Rotating con-
nections are made with the various
pipes so that they will adjust them
selves to the movement of the drill
and retain the casing always with its
mouth adjacent to the collar of the
hole.
Suction is created by connecting
the pipe below the casing with noz-
zle supplied with air from any suit
able source. The nozzle is also con-
nected by pipe with the exhaust from
the drill. If this exhaust is not suf-
ficient, then the main supply Of COM
pressed air may be used. Thus the
air passing through the nozzle creates
a suction that draws the dust created
by the drill through the casing and
pipes into the collecting bag, the
meshes of the bag fabric permitting
the air to escape or pass through,
leaving the dust in the bag"
