178 DESTRUCTIVE INSECTS OF VICTORIA: 



The Triumph Sprat Nozzle. 

 {See Fig. 11.) 



Numerous spraj nozzles have from time to time been brought under 

 the notice of fruit-growers, all of which have, more or less, defects 

 in their construction. 



The chief of these is their liability to choke, and the difficulty and 

 loss of time in removing the obstruction. 



The patentee of the Triumph does not claim that he has invented 

 a nozzle which will pass half a brick without its choking ; but he 

 guarantees that any obstruction which may find its way into it can 

 be more easily and quickly removed than from any other. 



Should the centrifugal mechanism inside the nozzles be lost it can be 

 replaced at a cost of one farthing, and every one using it should carry 

 a few in his pocket. 



The Triumph throws a large amount of fine spray at the smallest 

 expenditure of solution, and will therefore soon save its cost. 



It will convert into spray from 1 to 4 pints of solution per minute, 

 according to the size of the outlet. 



Price: Single, os. ; double, 7s. 6d. ; revolving (single), 7s. 6d.;: 

 revolving (double), 10s. 



G-eo. Knowles, Hardware Chambers, 231 Elizabeth-street, Mel- 

 bourne. 



The Champion. 

 {See Fig. 12.) 



The Champion is on the horizontal principle, with piston, and is 

 made entirely of brass. 



The cylinder is fitted to frame on an axis, which prevents any strain 

 on the piston rod. 



The valves are of brass, and can be removed by unscrewing cap 

 over each. 



It cannot possibly get out of order, and the packing around piston is 

 kept tight by a regulating screw. 



It can be taken to pieces in a few minutes, thus preventing the 

 necessity of sending for repairs, also avoiding the freight to and from 

 Melbourne. 



Sufficient power to supply tAvo or more hoses fitted with quadruple 

 sprays is easily obtained by the lever, to which is attached an agitator, 

 which keeps the liquid thoroughly mixed. 



Price: Fitted with two hoses, each 15 feet long, with 6-ft. directors 

 and stop taps, and quadruple sprays to cask, £8 15s.; without cask,.
