As soon as the fluid has filled the barrel it rises into the tube P, and acting on the float O raises the end of the lever N so as to release the handle L' from the catch d. As soon as the end is released the spring Y throws the handle around, drawing the crank R downward, and allowing the spring U to instantly close the valve so as to stop the flow of the fluid. By means of the setscrew a the hold of the end of the handle in the catch d can be made so sensitive that it will he released as soon as the liquid reaches any desired point on the float.

Claim:
In reference to the above-said gage I would remark that so much of the mechanism of the gage used for indicating the number of pounds pressure that the boiler is carrying is not new, as it is the same in construction and operation as that described in the patent for steam-gage granted to me 29 October, 1867 (#70,213, hence a full detailed description of that part will not be made, but simply alluded to for a more proper understanding of the improvement attached to it.
