pressure gauge indicates the pressure within theheater. The New Style of Baker Heater Steam Attachmentconsists of four ^-inch copper pipes screwed into brassfittings, and placed vertically into a 3-inch wrought ironcylinder, three and one-half feet long. Into this cylindersteam is admitted from the locomotive through a ^-inchbranch pipe leading up Trom the train pipe, to top ofcylinder. By this arrangement, steam instead of fire inthe Baker heater is used, if desired, to circulate the water,or steam can be used at the same time as the fire, toheat up quickly. When used in connection with a heater, it is placed atthe back of the heater, as shown in Figure 8, betweenthe return pipe and the pipe connecting top of the coilto the drum. (The heater coil can be cut out if so de-sired.) The steam is controlled by an angle valve, placed atthe top of the ^-inch supply pipe. The position of thevalve is such that all water from the condensed steamwill run from it. 58 RULES FOR MOVEMENT OF TRAINS
