PIPES AND NOZZLES.                              183
In setting Giants they must be firmly bolted to a heavy piece of timber, and this timber securely braced against the solid gravel or rock. The machine and adjacent length of pipe must also be weighted to the ground. The bearings should be lubricated. Tallow or axle-grease is preferable to oil for this purpose.
Hydraulic Giant.—The Hydraulic Giant is a modi­fication of the Little Giant. The several sizes, as con­structed b\- Joshua Hendy, are as follows :
Monitor.—Fig. 39 represents a Monitor Hydraulic Machine with a " deflecting nozzle," the invention of Mr. Henry C. Perkins.
Deflector.—By means of the " deflecting nozzle " the Giant can be turned to any point and the stream directed with the greatest facility.
A,   Cast-iron nozzle.
B,   Deflecting nozzle of wrought iron, attached to A by a joint similar to a compass gimbal.
