ediately. It differs from ordinary boilers in there being no unvaporized water in the boiler. In most cases there is no steam-chest, and the theory has been to inject at each time a quantity sufficient for one impulse of the piston. The term flashers has been applied to this form of generators, from the fact that the jet of water instantly flashes into steam. Trouble has been found in the rapid corrosion, and in the cracking of the material of the boiler. Instantaneous generator. McCurdy's English patent (A, Fig. 2685), 1824, has a tube into which is introduced a smaller tube with perforations which deliver a fine shower into the outer tube, which is exposed to the heat of the furnace. Dr. Alban, of Mecklenburg, patented, in 1825, a device (B, Fig. 2685) in which steam was generated in a series of strong vertical tubes, which are submerged for the greater portion of their length in a bath of molten lead. The row of vertical pipes was supplied by water trickling from a p

passes. a a (Fig. 6595) are trammel-points, to be placed on a long bar for striking large circles. They are held at the desired points by set-screws, and the larger sizes (b, Fig. 6596) have an arrangement for holding a leadpencil. 2. A shackle to put on a horse's leg to teach him to pace. 3. A long sweep-net for birds or for fish. 4. A pothook, hung in a chimney. Tram′mel-wheel. Sometimes called a sloshwheel. It was patented in 1836 by B. F. Snyder, and has been used by McCurdy for operating the needle of a sewing-machine. It has also been used for driving a saw, or gang of saws. This wheel has two slots crossing each other at right angles and forming guides for two sliding-blocks, to which a pitman is connected. The rim of the wheel is not an essential part. As the wheel rotates, the sliders keep in their own grooves, crossing each other's tracks, and the pitman makes two up and two down strokes for each revolution of the wheel. This compara- tively rapid
