the two others to manage the nozzles. An idea of the general style 
of the outfit may be obtained from Plates XIII and XIV. 
The outfits used at the different places differed only in the 
character of the cart. The pump, barrel and fittings were the 
same in each case and cost $27.46. The items are as follows:
