water-feed

The water-feed machine is not, however, favored for welding plants, as is the carbide feed, in spite of the greater difficulties attending the handling of the solid material.

A water-feed generator is made up of the gas producing part and a holder for the acetylene after it is made.

In charging the generating chambers of water-feed machines clean all residuum carefully from the containers and remove it at once from the building.

This provides for the continuous working of the apparatus under all conditions of water-feed and carbide charge, and it obviates the extinction of lights through intermittent action of the machine.

Never deposit residuum or exhausted material from water-feed machines in sewer-pipes or near inflammable material.

The water-feed should always be so disposed that the attendant can see at a glance which of the two (or more) carbide receptacles is in action at any moment, and it should be also so designed that the supply is automatically diverted to the second receptacle when the first is wholly exhausted and back again to the first (unless there are more than two) when the carbide in the second is entirely gasified.

The water-feed pipe shown at _F_ ends a short distance above the top of the tank so that just how much water is running in may readily be seen.

_ -- It is, of course, much easier to obtain a measured and regular flow of water than to obtain such a flow of any solid substance, especially when the solid substance is in the form of lumps, as is carbide This fact led to the use of a great many water-feed generators for all classes of work, and this type is still in common use for the small portable machines, such, for instance, as those used on motor cars for the lamps.
