Not illustrated. 1873 Excerpt: ...143'J. lilow-off cocks are generally placed some distance from the boiler, but they should always be placed quite close to it, as there are no means of shutting off the water from the pipe between the blow-oli cock and the boiler, should fracture or leakage there arise. Every boiler must be furnished with a blow-off cock of its own, independently of the main blow-off cock on the ship's sides, so tliat the boders may be blown off separately, and may be shut off from one another.

These box-keys would not be shifted from one plug to another, as at present, but each would remain in its place, and the engineer would only have to turn them when he wanted to blow off the boilers. The present method of using the blow-off cocks is very inconvenient. A small plate has to be removed to enable the box-key to be applied; coal sometimes is lying upon the plate, which has to be removed, and coal-dust gets into the bdge in these continual i eir.ovals, which chokes the roses of the bilge-pumps.
