OILING SYSTEM 



ADMIRALTY OILING TABLE 



THE Oiling System comprises two 200-gallon 

 capacity storage tanks, one for machine and 

 the other for cylinder oil; an oiling table of 

 the Siegrist "Admiralty" type, having four duplex 

 stearn pumps, two for circulating the machine oil and 

 the two others for the cylinder oil; pressure machine- 

 oil cups on all the engines, pumps, compressors, ice 

 machine and motors requiring lubrication; duplex 

 vertical oil pumps on all the cylinders of the engines, 

 pumps, etc., provided with ratchet drives connected 

 to some reciprocating part of the engines, etc., and so 

 arranged that they will force the cylinder oil into the 

 engine cylinders against 175 pounds steam pressure; 

 oil sump tank of 90 gallons capacity, to catch the 

 machine oil drips from the engines, etc., and two 



machine-oil filters, of 200 gallons capacity per t \\enly- 

 four hours. One of these is of Turner make. 



The system is operated under a pressure of from 10 

 to 15 pounds per square inch, and its various appur- 

 tenances are connected together by means of brass 

 piping. 



Just as in the human body the heart pumps the 

 blood through the various parts and organs back to 

 the lungs, where it is purified and then recirculated, 

 so here the Oiling System pumps the oil to the various 

 engines, etc., from which it flows back to the sump 

 and filter, to be cleaned and recirculated. Even the 

 oil in the exhaust steam and drips, which is usually 

 wasted, is here extracted, filtered, and re-used, through 

 an appliance described in detail on another page.
