Oy1-E-72826 -2- July 28, 1926 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.
