MORE ABOUT THE NOZZLE BUSINESS.
To the Editor of THE FIREMEN'S JOURNAL.
At the trial of the nozzle referred to in my last, we used a single line of 2 1/2 hose. The size of both nozzles was one inch and the water pressure the same in both cases. On Saturday, July 2d, we instituted further experiments in the same direction, the result of which showed your theory to be correct. One of the trials was with a nozzle loaned to us by E. M. Waldron, the well known coupling manufacturer of Providence, R. I. This nozzle was made very nearly after the plan shown in THE JOURNAL of June 11, but of the result I will let Mr. Waldron speak for himself. I mention it to show that others are experimenting.
