Roundways should be used, and, to insure freedom of running, the turning part should be equal to the inner diameter of the pipes. The whole should be of gunmetal, and, if the pipes to be used be of iron, screwed at the end. To be useful, as well as bold and effective in appearance, the handles should be large.
Lead piping should be discarded for all but very cheap work, and iron employed in its stead, with proper screwed joints, angles, and tees. Should there be sufficient means, copper piping should be employed for anything under 1 in. internal diameter, and gunmetal should be used for unions, &c., and for cocks and valves.
That and the noise of the waves which reverberated along the passage under the wharf seemed to show that there was an open connection to the river. The cellar was empty except for a large wooden tun or cask which reached almost to the ceiling, and a gunmetal hand pump. Pipes led from the latter, one to the tun, the other along the passage under the wharf.
I thought you said 'Smithers." Morley looked at his watch. You must have a watch. You can do it for a dollar. Better go hungry than forego a gunmetal or the ninety-eight-cent one that the railroads according to these watchmakers are run by. "The Bishop of Long Island," said Morley, "was to meet me here at 8 to dine with me at the Kingfishers' Club.
Then he swings around in his swivel chair and proceeds to size me up through them gunmetal gray eyes of his. Say, it was like standin' in front of a searchlight and under a cold shower, all at once. "So, young man!" says he. "You have been hearing me swear, eh?" That's enough for me. Just from that I can sketch the whole plot.
Besides the needle and shower, as above, the tonic bathing appliances may include an ordinary horizontal douche that can be pointed in any direction, a spray, or large rose, and a "wave." They are connected to the pipes from the regulating valves by means of a foot or so of flexible hose. To this is secured a tapering copper pipe. The douche has a gunmetal nozzle.
"Pack up nothing," Uncle Felix reproved her quickly. "The important thing is don't wind up. Just go on as usual. It will be best," he added significantly, "if you all hand over your timepieces to me at once." And, without a word, they recognised his wisdom and put their treasures into his waistcoat pockets watches of silver, tin, and gunmetal.
They will be wise after the event, not before, which is often the better part of wisdom. Have you a steady hand? Will you flinch if I ask you to destroy every man on the other side of that door?" Beaumanoir twisted his head round and grinned. "If asking will do the trick, try me!" said he. Felix took from an inner pocket of his coat a gunmetal cigarcase. He pressed a spring, and the lid flew open.
Hovan was reaching to take Steve's hand when his misgivings became reality. He spotted movement, a flash of light on gunmetal, and everything happened at once. Hovan was already reacting as he heard the bark of a slugthrower and saw the spurt of flame. His dagger flew for its target, a human screamed and Steve was spun around and hurled to the floor by a heavy slug in the center of his back.
A marble coping and mosaic flooring would render it pleasing in appearance. The overflow and waste run into cast-iron drainpipes, which should be employed till outside the building. On the end of the overflow pipe is screwed a gunmetal rose with leather packing, the screw-holes being drilled into the flange of pipe. For the waste I have shown a "disc" valve of gunmetal.
