Not illustrated. 1902 edition. Excerpt: ...as would be done in case of actual fire." DIAGRAM ILLOSTBiTIHO THE AREA COVERED BY THE HIGH-PRESSURE SYSTEM. THE BLACK LINES DESIGNATE! THE PIPES WHICH GRIDIRON THE SO-CALLED "FIRE BELT." FOR FURTHER EXPLANATION, SEE TEXT. In this test twelve lines of 300 feet each of 2j-inch hose with l-inch nozzles were used. With pressure from first boat, one line of hose only in operation, the stream was effective for 175 feet, which distance was mainiained when the second and third lines were opened. With all the boats in operation, the maximum distance made by three lines of hose at one time was 262 feet actual striking distance, although it is calculated shat the spray carried at least twenty feet fuither. With all twelve lines in service and all boats pumping at their highest pressures, the distance was slightly under 200 feet. Third test.--" To be an exhibition under the same conditions as test No. I; '. e., static pressure, with leads of 300 feet of 3J$-inch hose wiih 2-inch nozzles." The pressure resulted in a stream of. 50 feet from one line of hose. With the opening of a second line the distance dropped to 10 feet. Fourth test.--" To be a repetition of the conditions existing in test No. 2, but with three leads of 3 %-inch hose with 2-inch nozzles." With pressure from one boat the three streams reached a distance of 125 feet; with two boats, 160 feet, and with three boats, 225 feet. Fifth test.--" To determine the effect on the four foregoing tests of opening a hydrant at Sixth and Race streets." The result of this test was more satisfactory than had been anticipated. Pressure registered about the same at both points, showing a drop of 40 degrees at Broad and Walnut streets, or, in other words, ...
