BAROMETRIC RESERVOIR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 386,657, dated July 24, 1888.

Application filed July 23, 1987. Serial No. 245,096. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: 1 tube a and partly within the fount A is a Be it known that I, FRANK RHIND, acitizen small siphonshaped tube, a, open at itsinner of the United States, residing at Meriden, endin the fount A,and preferably closed at its county of New Haven, and State of Connectiouter end by a removable plug, a.
