A double action pump
with a stuffing box so constructed that carbonic
acid gas or water can be forced into it under pressure; thereby preventing
the possibility of the pump drawing any atmospheric air, said double
action pump to be driven directly from the engine without any inter-

page_text: directly from the cross head of the engine, as shown in Figure I., and
the great increase of power gained thereby.
2nd. The stuffing box so constructed as to be capable of containing
either fluid or gas, or a mixture of both, thereby preventing the pump
drawing any other substance than that required, and the contents of 5
the stuffing box acting as a constant lubricator to the pump rod.
In witness whereof, I, the said Edward Russell Vaughan, have
hereunto set my hand and seal, this Twenty-first day of June,
in the year of our Lord 1876.
EDWARD RUSSELL VAUGHAN. (L.S.)
