All the principal appliances used for spraying paint, lacquer, enamel, varnish and similar liquids have been described at length, but no attempt has been made to prove that any one appliance is superior to another. The details of each apparatus are given, and for the convenience of the reader, the manufacturer's name and address. It is suggested that those who contemplate the adoption of paint dipping, or spraying, should get into touch with all these firms, and carefully investigate their respective merits before coming to a decision.
The services of an expert will usually be found desirable, for, although in engineering works much of the necessary apparatus and accessories may be made on the premises, the exact details, such as the kind of paint and the exact design suitable for the particular purpose, are largely matters to be decided upon in the light of experience.
