...as a principle, that in the sucking-pump, after every elevation of the piston to KI, there will be an equilibrium between the pressure of the atmosphere on the surface of the water in the reservoir MN, and the elastic force of the rarefied air contained between KL, and the surface of the column of... | |

...produced in the vessel R, into which the air could not enter, because the valve A Fig. 225. opens upward. The pressure of the atmosphere on the surface of the water in a reservoir at the bottom of the mine, therefore forced the water up the tube C, through the valve... | |
