Illustrated catalogue "D"; the Meyer-Sniffen Co., limited manufacturers and importers of sanitary specialists and superior brass-work Review
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1895 Excerpt: ...The great depth of water in the bowl of the " Vortex " (5 to 6 inches) forms an efficient seal against the passage of sewer air, and more than enough to thoroughly submerge any deposit of fecal matter. The woodwork furnished is either cherry, oak, black walnut, or ash, as preferred. PRICES.

The most important feature is the method of attaching the hinge to the closet, whereby any possible fracture of the earthenware from improper use of the closet is prevented--an advantage possessed by no other closet seat on the market. PLATE 207-D consists of the "vortex" Syphon Jet Water-Closet, wiih patent brass floor connection, paneled tank, brass brackets, brass flush pipe, with bracket guide for pull, and chain of brass wire, "annex " Seat with cover. All trimmings nickel-plated. The tanks furnished with the " Vortex " Water-Closets are so constructed that a momentary pull of the handle effects the thorough flushing of the closet. The syphon in the tank (recently improved and patented by us) is practically silent in operation, and so simple that it cannot get out of order. The great depth of water in the bow... Read more...
