the Ingersoll-Sergeant Drill Company of New York.The machine is a cross-compound steam,two-stage air compressor having a ratedcapacity of 5,260 cubic feet of free airper minute at normal speed of 70 revolu-tions per minute. The steam cylinders are22 inches and 46 inches in diameter, andare of the latest pattern, with standardCorliss release gear and a steam receiverlocated in the foundation beneath. Steampressure is 125 pounds. The gauge onsteam receiver indicates a pressure ofabout 6^ pounds and the engine runs un-der a vacuum of 25 inches. The ex-haust is handled by a jet condenser lo-cated with its auxiliaries in the base-ment below the engine room.

The Ser-geant piston inlet valve is used on bothhigh and low pressure cylinders and thelow pressure intake is connected with asheet steel intake connection drawing coldclean air through a conduit rising abovethe roof of the power house. The dis-charge valves are of positive direct-liftpattern, giving maximum discharge areawith a minimum of cylinder clear-ance. A large horizontal intercoolerbelow the engine-room floor cools the lowpressure air discharge to water tempera-ture by contact with surfaces cooled bywater circulating through tinned brasstubes. An independent direct-acting circulat-ing pump in the basement handles thecooling water for cylinder jackets andinter-cooler. Steam pipes for the com-pressor and auxiliaries enter the base-ment of the power house through a tunnelleading to the boilers in a separate build-ing.
