Fire Department puzzled by strange test result
Officials of the fire department report a surprising test of a steam fire engine. The steamer drawing water from the Pequonnock river delivered more water into the air than when fed from a hydrant with 15 pounds pressure. The engine lifted river water about 10 feet before entering the cylinders yet produced 15 gallons a minute more than in hydrant testing. A repeat test will be conducted to confirm the findings.
