and a pipe connect with a cistern just outside the house. This pump 

 is placed on a small stand 18x22 inches. Underneath this stand is a 

 bell trap with a drainage pipe for carrying the dirty water away from 

 the house. 



In the plan, M represents the washing machine, S the laundry 

 stove, and B the boiler with faucet attached. The pump is arranged

 to be hung when not in use — also for the cover. The table 2x3 feet is 

 used for flat work such as sheets, table-cloths, napkins, towels, hand- 

 kerchiefs, etc. The table has a pad of several thicknesses of Canton 

 flannel over which is a cover of unbleached muslin of one thickness — 

 unbleached, because this is more durable than the bleached. The cover 

 is the size of the table top. White tape is stitched on each corner in 

 the shape of a right angle opposite to the comer of the muslin, and the 

 ends left long enough to tie around the table leg. This holds the cover 

 and pad firm and smooth, and allows it to be removed when necessary.
