The Water-works at Rhinelander, Wis.
水工作制度s recently completed at Rhinelander, Wis., by Moffett, Hodgkins & Clarke of Syracuse, N. Y., underwent a successful test on January 17. when six streams were played simultaneously at as many different points for the space of one hour. The pressure varied from 80 to 115 pounds, and water was thrown to a height of 125 feet.
The pumping station of the system is built of brick and stone. The pump-room is 26 x 26 feet, and the boiler-room 26 x 43 feet. Two pumps, each having a capacity of 1,000,000 gallons of water eveiy twenty-four hours, built by the Deane Pump Company of Holyoke, Mass., are used to force the water into the tower a few rods east of the station. Two eighty horse power boilers furnish the steam used by the pumps. They were manufactured by the Frost Manufacturing Company of Galesburg, Ill. The boilers and pumps are so arranged that they may be worked together or separately.
