Thermofeed Regulator, 2" flanged

This is a sectioned example of the device, patented by Mr. A. R. Trist in 1911, for regulating automatically the quantity of feed-water delivered to a boiler so as to maintain a constant water level. Waste of fuel, due to incorrect or large variations in level which occur with hand-feed regulation, are thus avoided.
