Y A. F//ora-z/r/voaMP/f/a etz/mf. frisson/3 Marisa) UNITED STATES EMILE LAM`M, OF NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA.
IMPROVEMENT IN SUPPLVING STEAM TO TRAVELING ENGINES.
Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 129,969, dated July 30, 1872.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, EMILE LAMM, of the city of New Orleans, parish of Orleans, State of Louisiana, have invented a new and Improved Mode or Process of SuperheatinglVater in the Thermo-Specific Engine, of which 'the following is a full and exact description:
The object of my invention is to heat above the atmospheric pressure water contained in a close vessel or `reservoir on a street-car or other vehicles by means of the condensation of steam in the above-named reservoir, the steam having previously been generated under pressure in a stationary boiler. By this process I avoid discharging the lwater on the car, the temperature of which was lowered by the steam expended in working the engine during the trip. Thus, instead of replacing this same water in the reservoir by other and hotter water taken from the stationary boiler, I cause steam of the required temperature to rush into and condense in the reservoir until the pristine force or heat of the water is restored. v By reference to the drawing and letters thereon my invention can be easily understood.
Figure l is a longitudinal section.'
A is the reservoir on the car. W W denote the water-line. B is an iron tube, boltedthrough the heads of A. This tube is closed at one end, and at the other end is provided with both a throttle-valve, G, and the one-half of a union coupling, D. This same tube is perforated inside the reservoir by anumber of small holes,
' the apertures of which are turned downward.
The holes are placed about six inches apart through the whole interior length ofthe tube. The-ir total area should equal that of a crosssection of the tube.
" The manner in which my invention operates the end of the tube B is connected, by means a stationary boiler. As soon as communication becomes established, by the proper openon the car and the stationary boiler, the steam from said boiler rushes into the reservoir, and by its condensation, which begins at the bottom of the'water, heats the whole of it upward and in an equal degree throughout the entire Witnesses:
A. HERO, Jr., P. HOWARD.
is as follows: When the car returns from a trip of the union coupling D, to the steam-pipe of v ing of throttle-valves, between the reservoir length of the reservoir until this same water
