Save-all

Casting my fortunes at Mrs. Thompson's, I soon became initiated into the etiquette and usage of that polite caravansary; and I now write of that era of two-pronged forks, and when “saveall” was the choicest dish, and the observances at the table not altogether Chesterfieldian.

All of the fixtures are set on full-size marble slabs, having a ½-inch countersink for a save-all, with a 3-inch brass rose, screw-top strainer, connected to a 1¼-inch galvanized-iron waste pipe with a good incline and entering its 2-inch sectional save-all waste pipes R, Fig. 18, by a 45-degree connection.

The remainder of the furniture consisted of a flat-candlestick, with a saveall; but, for snuffers, Bronze used her scissors, or indeed, upon most occasions, her fingers.

Fourthly, an ornamental candle-fastener. This invention is intended to combine a metallic or other ornament for the candle, acting as a fastener for the candle, with a save-all, by which the objectionable necessity of fastening the candle with paper is done away with.

An improved “save-all suitable to all kinds of candlesticks, candle or reading lamps, or chandeliers burning wax, composition, or other candles.

At the end of the "save-all", where the fibers are to leave the "wire" for the next stage of their journey, suction-boxes are placed, provided with an air-pump to take up the surplus water that has not yet found its way through the meshes.

In designing any save all system one of the cardinal principles is to send no material to the save-all which can be reclaimed in any other waya, and this applies particularly to the gravity variety.

A large amount of backwater passing to the save-all will have the effect of keeping its contents in constant motion, and the currents thus set up will seriously impede its action.
