This it does, and runs along the partitions up to the apex of the extractor to an escape pipe, as shown. This pipe is kept constantly a little open, so that from it a thin stream of water highly charged with oil is continually flowing, and is collected in a vessel placed below it. Sediment deposited in the pockets between the lower set of diaphragms can be washed out by means of the plugs ....'
