The name “Underwriter” has been largely used for a considerable time

to designate the type of pump covered by the principal features of

these specifications. While our preferences are against the use of

this word as designating any piece of apparatus objections will not

be raised at the present time to its being continued on name plates

in place of the words “National Standard,” if manufacturers so desire.

_b._ This plate must have an area of not less than one square foot, and

must be made of an alloy at least two-thirds aluminum and the remainder

zinc. The letters must be at least one-half inch in height, plain and

distinct, with their surfaces raised on a black background and buffed

off to a dead smooth finish.

The name of pump manufacturer may also be placed on this plate, if

desired.

_c._ A smaller plate of composition must be attached to steam chest

bearing the size of pump, the shop number, and the name of shop in

which the pump was built.
