NIKOLA TESLA, NEW YORK, Y. After partial vacuum
lias been secured the tank and the lique
fied insulating material has been run into the 100
vessel the pump may stopped and the
tank connected with receiver II, from which
the air has been exhausted, and the appara
tus allowed stand until all the interstices

Any plan may followed orapparatus used

the attainment the desired l’esult; that is
to say, applying the fluid insulating material
in vacuum and subsequently subjecting to
or solidifying under pressure.
It desirable run into the pipe enough
melted material fill before using the ap
paratus and make the pipe poor heat- 85
conducting material, that little time will
elapse after the heat applied melt the
material the tank Abefore the flowthrough
the pipe begins. The degree
of exhaustion pressure may vary, very 55
good results being secured vacuum of
about twenty-nine inches and pressure of
about one hundred pounds.

When the device has become thoroughly
