Hence, the constant, even pressure from the reservoir must be preferable for instant use in case of fire, and at such times easier to the service pipes than the waves of pressure delivered from the piston pumps.Eighth. - The opinion of the Chief Engineers of various cities, and our rural area, will prevent us from selling the fire engines, and thus saving capital and cost by any system.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
