A hand-pump is also supplied by which the driver can keep the proper amount when the machine is still or in case of a breakdown. A water-gauge in plain sight keeps the driver informed at all times as to the amount of water in the boiler.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
