619 



HYDRAULIC RAMS. 



In your issue of Dee. 25th '■Sutieier'' 

 asks as to the cause of his hyilraulir 

 lani failing to give satisfaction and was 

 replied to by llr. Gibbons, whose autlior- 

 ity we do not wish to dispute, but hav- 

 in<r had long experience with these rams 

 we venture to sug;^est that the right 

 point was not touclied upon in the reply. 



The trouble with the ram is, we think, 

 not in the service pipe but in the size 

 and length of the drive pipe. If ".Suf- 

 ferer" will increase the drive pipe to 

 U-inch and leave it at its present length 

 or shorten it by 25 feet and use 1 j-inch 

 with the same fall he now has, we think 

 lie will liave no more trouble with the 

 lam stopping, and it will have a much 

 more active motion.
