osite each other that the pistonrod of the one at the end of its stroke can move the valve of the other on the tappet mode, and vice versa. The whole is surrounded by a strong casing full of the water to be measured. The mode of operation is similar to that of Worthington's meter, with the exception that the pistons have no dead-water to carry with them. The piston-rods, however, pass through stuffingboxes, which in the Worthington meter is avoided. See also Fig. 2974, page 1328. The Hicks meter is adapted from his ingenious steam-engine, in which the cylinders are situated radially around a central space occupied by the common crank, to which their pistonrods are attached. The piston-rods of opposite cylinders, being continuous or practically so, may thus be considered as one, having a piston operating in two opposite cylinders, with a steam (or water) space between them. The effective strokes of the pistons are made consecutively, each commencing a stroke at each quarterly
