About this book
Mechanics of the Household by E. S. Keene is described as a course of study devoted to domestic machinery and household mechanical appliances. A chapter headed Water Supply says that the use of water enters into each detail of the affairs of everyday life and forms a part of every article of food. The text says that certain wells are known as artesian wells from the fact that they were first used in Artois (anciently called Artesium) in France.
The text says the excavation of wells is usually accomplished by one of three general methods: by digging, by driving a pipe into the earth until it penetrates the water-bearing stratum, or by boring a hole with an enlarged earth auger. The text says that where an intense light on a small area directly below the lamp is desired, a focusing reflector is used. The text says that the tub of Fig. 86 sets flat on the floor and makes a close joint with the wall.
