Carbonized Enamel 
15 AS PURE AS CLASS. 
The Bridgeport M'f'g Co., 
OP BRIDGEPORT, COIVIV. 
(Office, No. 8S Chambers St., New York), 
Hiive the exclusive control of this valuable enamel, and are 
using It to cover ..11 <>t their celebrated 
American Submerged Force Pumps. 
Thev also enamel pipe inside find out, which delivers the 
wa r or chemlc dlv pure. The Enamel is composed of vege- 
tabK 1 matter, bake<t on so hard that a blow does not break 
it, ana U resists acids that eat gold. 
Gentlemen: I hare examined Die sections of Carbonized 
Enamel Pipe submitted io me by you. It is superior to anv 
pipe I have ever seen for resisting arids and conducting 
water from springs or for use in connection with pumps, 
etc. The Enamel adheres with astonishing tenacity, with- 
standing even heavy blows; and the surface of the metal 
where i lie enamel i* beaten off seems to be protected against 
the ordinary action of water.
