on friday presented with a no 4 eynon-korting compound injector although this injector has been on the market but a compara tively short time it has since its ap pearance met with universal favor the injector is a combination of two steam jet apparatus ; the first proportioned for lifting and deliv ering the water under pressure into the second one where its velocity is sufficiently increased to over come the counter pressure in the boiler the duty is necessarily high owing to the fact that the combined area of the two steaia nozzles is smaller than that of other injectors of the same capacity the construction also allows its use with high or low pressure steam with water under pressure or suction mr eynon the donor of the in jector was for some time after his graduation an instructor in the mechanical department of this university in which capacity he served with credit to himself and to his alma mater he is now manager of a successful manufac turing concern in philadelphia — the eynon-evans manufacturing company engineers machinists founders and specialists in steam jet engineering mr eynon was recently president of the alumni association of lehigh university and has always evinced much in terest in the welfare and advance ment of the university along with the injector was re ceived a neatly gotten up catalogue describing the products manufac tured by the company
