Besides the foregoing devices for conducting the preliminary process
of the steam generation, the attendant should have close at hand a
servicable HAND HAMMER, a SLEDGE for breaking coal and similar work,
and A SCREW WRENCH and also a light LADDER for use about the boiler and
shafting.
In addition to these there are various other things almost essential
for the proper doing of the work of the boiler room,—FIRE AND WATER
PAILS, LANTERNS, RUBBER HOSE, etc., which every wise steam user will
provide of the best quality and which the engineer will as carefully
keep in their appointed places ready for instant service.
[Illustration: Fig. 4.]
To these familiar tools can be added FILES, LACE CUTTERS, BOILER-FLUE
BRUSHES, STOCK and DIES, PIPE-TONGS, SCREW JACKS, VISES, etc., all of
which when used with skill and upon right occasion pay a large return
on their cost.
