on the steam chest, for by this method, the oil is kept warm 

 and fluid in cold weather. 



To Attach the "Swift" Lubricator. The cylinder-oil for 

 lubricating the cylinder and the valve should be introduced 

 into the steam-pipe and if possible in such a manner that 

 the oil passes through the throttle and the governor thus

 extending beyond the shank as shown in the cut at H. This 

 pipe discharges the oil and must extend into the interior of 

 the steam-pipe or the lubricator will not work. If lost out or

 a stream could be run over the plate and the oil wasted. 

 When the oil is nearly exhausted from the cup, water com-

 rises until it reaches the lower edge of the bright plate. The 

 cup should then be refilled. To do this, close valves E and
