Water Gage. (open access)

Water Gage.

Patent for a new and improved water gauge. This design "consists in the arrangement of a chamber attached to the lower valve of an ordinary water-gage; and the object of [the] improvement is to prevent the foam and sentiment of steam-boilers from accumulating in the glass, stuffing-boxes, and valves of water-gages" (lines 8-14).
