| Abstract:
A piece of tubing, connected to the supply-tank, is placed over the inlet-tube I, and the lower end of the tube G placed in the barrel to be filled. The handle L' is then turned around until its end catches in and is held by the catch dl. In turning this handle the shaft Li is made to partly revolve, and in doing so the crank IR causes. the rod R' to lift the valve S from its seat, and to hold it suspended, so as to allow the fluid to pass freely into the barrel. As soon as the fluid has filled the barrel it rises into the tube P, and acting on the float O raises the end of the lever N so as to release the handle L' from the catch d. As soon as the end is released the spring Y throws the handle around, drawing the crank R downward, and allowing the spring U to instantly close the valve so as to stop the flow of the fluid. By means of the setscrew a the hold of the end of the handle in the catch d can be made so sensitive that it will he released as soon as the liquid reaches any desired point on the float.
