It need hardly be said that the Injector is the most popular boiler feeder now in use. There have been more than 500,000 manufactured in this country for the various kinds of service, and there is scarcely a locomotive in the world that is not equipped with one or two Injectors. Compact, reliable and economical, it still deserves the high encomium bestowed upon it in 1859, by M. Charles Combes, Inspector General and director L'Ecole des Mines: "It is without doubt better than all devices hitherto used for feeding boilers, and the best that can be employed, as it is the simplest and most ingenious."
