Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Operating a Soda Fountain

The cocks are of the screw jam make, which never leak. The cylinder under the counter is fitted with an agitator safety valve, a driving wheel, and handle, so when the briskness or pressure begins to decline, a few turns of the handle will render it strong again.
When charging a cylinder from a machine, it contains air. By opening the jet cock F, the gas will detonate itself by its pungent smell. Close the cock, and continue pumping both gas and solution until the valve H lifts. You must then open the jet cock and if it only blows gas out shut it immediately and continue pumping until the water reaches it. It will be at its correct height. Shut the cocks at G and P then it may be removed. The connection G attaches it to the machine while filling it, as well as the fountain afterwards.
