Mr. Chirk: M i-. President, may 1 ask Mi'. Carter— you say 

 a funnel in lierey ( indicatin.ii-). 



Mr. Carter: No. funiu'l at tlie to]). 



Mr. Chirk: ^'ou mean a funnel sliaiK'? 



Mr. Carter: An ordinary funnel, just a little larger, half 

 an inch larger in cii'cu inference. 



m-. Clark: :\ray 1 ask what it was for. to hold the tn1)e n])? 



Mr. Carter: Yes. The water was allowed to flow with the 

 little rubber tube, the funnel had half an inch of water, and the 

 funnel was below that, so no air could get in at all? 



Mr. Fullerton : Mr. Clark, is that the working size of your 

 tube ? 



Mr. Clark : Yes sir, that is the tube itself, that was in use. 



Mr. Fullerton: You put a rubber tube attachment on that? 



Mr. Clark: The faucet is here (indicating) and the rubber 

 tube goes inside here, l)elow the water. 



Mr. Fullerton : Wc work it the opposite. The rubber tu1)e 

 comes on the outside, — used the glass tubes. 



Mr. Carter: The old jar at Swantou ran very une\-enlv. and 

 for that reason \hc funnels did not always feed well. Init wher- 

 they did that, the funnels centered themselves, the tube being a 

 little hea^•ier sought its own center, and those jars worked 

 beautifully. 



Mr. Titcomb: T want to get at the .litfereiuv between Mr. 

 Clark and :\lr. Johnson. In the lirsl place, what does that tube 

 cost ? 



Mr. Clark: Mr. I^hayer. can voii lell what tlies.' tidies cost 

 by the thousand ? 



Mr. Thaver: 1 think about f(uir and one-sixth cents.
