Page 444 - The water-level should be as nearly as possible the same as at the beginnihg of the test. If it is not the same, a correction should be made by computation, and not by operating pump after test is completed.
Page 442 - In preparing for and conducting trials of steamboilers, the specific object of the proposed trial should be clearly defined and steadily kept in view. II. Measure and record the dimensions, position, etc., of grate and heating surfaces, flues and chimneys, proportion of air space in the grate surface, kind of draught, natural or forced.
