Feed Pipe

These are the main features in the construction of the bag-pipe, whose numerous varieties fall into two classes according to the method of inflating the bag: (1) by means of the blow-pipe described above; (2) by means of a small bellows connected by a valved feed-pipe with the bag and worked by the other arm or elbow to which it is attached by a ribbon or strap. ❋ Various (N/A)

The inlet valves at both ends of the engine were connected by a single feed-pipe to which the carburettor was attached, the induction piping being arranged above the engine in an easily accessible position. ❋ Evelyn Charles Vivian (1914)

It was just as well, too, for the feed-pipe was plugged in the lamp and the wicks were popping. ❋ Leonid Nikolayevich Andreyev (1895)

When the leather-pump barrel is pressed flat, water flows through the upper valves into the barrel around it; when it is pulled out, water is sucked up through the feed-pipe, and an equal quantity is displaced from the barrel. ❋ Francis Galton (1866)

The lower disc is nailed to the bottom of a tub; the hole in it corresponds with the feed-pipe, and the valve that covers the hole opens upwards. ❋ Francis Galton (1866)
