The under surface of the valve-plate is ground to fit the ground upper end of the piston-case, and the upper face of the valve-plate. and lower face of the head-plate are ground so that they tightly together. Screws are passed through the head-plate and valve-plate into nd oi the piston-case about each 2 icr holding the parts together. 1

Above each cylinder in the valve-plate is opening containing a threaded nut 32, having valve-seat that is very hard on its This valve-seat is ground and polished so to be very smooth. Above the valveseat in each opening is a valvedisk 33, has its under face ground and polished so as to closely fit the valve-seat. A tapered stem 3% is fastened to this disk, so as to extend. into the tapered opening through the -nut for the purpose of guiding the valve to its seat.

In the under face of the head-plate above the valves m an annular groove 35, which on one mile communicates with an opening 36 through the valve-plate and an outlet 37 in the upper end of the piston-case, which is adapted to be connected with the pipe which leads to the gas-receiver. v Ammonia is received into the cam-case through the open 38 on one side and is pumped by the pistons past the valves to the outlet as the cam is rotated.

The cam-case is referably filled with oil nearlyto thelevel o the ammonia-inlet. This oil prevents any possibilitlyrof the leakage of gas about the cam-arbor t ough the opening in the bottom of the can1case, which -0 ening is the on] one from the interior to t e extenor of t c pump which contains a moving part. On account of the closeness of the joint and length of the bearing, also the use of oil, which'not only lubricates the arbor, but packs thejoint, there is no possible chance for gas to leak.

The web of the bevel-gear below the camcase is preferably made dish-shaped, so as to hold any oil that might possibly leak from the interior about the cam-arbor.

The pistonecase around the cylinders is chambered, andwater or other cooling medrum is caused to enter the space about the cylinders through the opening 39 at the bottom on one side of the piston-case and after circulating about the cylinders to flow out through the opening 40 at the top on the other side. I

The parts of this pump are strong and durable. They are simple to make and are easily assembled. There is but one opening containing a moving part, and that is so arranged that it does not require a packing to prevent leakage, although a packing can be used, if desired. The valves are very simple and require no springs to assist their operaciency;

tion. The pistons are effective and are so adjusted by raising or lowering the rotary cam that they move upwardly close to the under face of the valvenplatc. In practice the pistons are preferably adjusted so that there will be noclcarancc between. their upper ends and the under side of the valvcplate when they are at the limit of their upward movement, thus insuring great elli- The pistons and the cams work easily and have such broad bearing-faces that the wear amounts to nothing. The cam cylinder can be adjusted while the pump is running, and after being properly adjusted the pump will run for a long time without further attention.
