The packing can be adjusted and tightened bymeans of a large central nut, still preserving the sim-plicity and convenience of an ordinary stuffing box. The water valve has been provided with a doublehandle wJth index pin, which engages with notches,cut into the stuffing box cap, thereby keeping thewater valve steady in any position against any jar orvibration of the engine. 3& LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERING •nio.i 01

INJECTORS, STEAM GAUGES, ETC. 367 Description of 88 Monitor, Fig. 168. This injector isa modification of the well-known locomotive injectorof that name, and is designed to supply the demand fora lever-handled injector, and embody in a new combina-tion all the best qualities of the former instrument. Themost prominent feature of the 88 Monitor is the facilitywith which it can be started and stopped by the newlever-handle attachment, or the single screw spindle mo-tion, whichever may be preferred. The quantity of waterwhich the new injector is capable of throwing, will com-mand attention, and the range of its capacity, running asit does from 100 per cent at maximum to less than 50per cent at minimum, makes it equally applicable to themoving of heavy or light trains, as the case may happen. It will lift the feed-water 5 ft. at 30 lbs. pressure, andat standard working pressure, to a height not likely toarise in ordinary locomotive practice. Its pipe connections are the same as the other M
