Test of Stratton Separator at Cornell University. A test of the Stratton separator was recently carriedon by R. C. Carpenter, of the department of experimentalengineering, at Cornell university. The results, as fur-nished, show, according to Professor Carpenter, that theseparator removes all the water that can be taken out ofsteam by mechanical means. For this test the steampipe leading to the separator was surrounded for a por-tion of its length with a jacket which could be filled withcold water so as to condense as much of the steam enter-ing the separator as possible.
