The principle use of the device so far is in motor boats where pressure-feed is dangerous, and vacuum-feed impossible because of full-throttle running.

It is also being used for oil-feed in oil-burning house-heating systems and in the industries in a variety of places.

I think it is well worth trying out more thoroughly than we have done.

Yours very truly,
