rhe piping was changed to this system because the central air
pipe gave a great deal of trouble by corrosion, which attacked not
only the air pipe, but the inside of the well casing also, and the
air pipe was liable at any time to corrode through and drop.
By changing to the system referred to, the corrosion is confined
to the inside of the 3-inch discharge pipe, so they have but one pipe
to corrode instead of two. Since this change the trouble has been prac-
tically eliminated, and the system has proved most satisfactory and
efficient.
The compressor is a “Straight Line ‘Class AC’ ” Ingersoll-Ser-
geant machine, with steam cylinder 22 inches in diameter, and com-
pound air cylinders 18| inches and 9 inches, all with a 24-inch stroke.
They pump three wells at a time, and with the compressor run-
ning at moderate speed secure about 600 gallons of brine per minute.
