Postwar Machinery Speedsprayer The speedsprayer consists of a 500 gallon metal tank mounted with a large capacity centrifugal type pump operating at low pressure. The nozzles are spaced uniformly over the distributing head, controlled by a single valve. The air blast is developed by an 1 airplane type propeller driven by a large six cylinder gasoline engine. The air propeller discharges 125,000 cubic feet of air per minute. This sprayer has proven practical in orchards or-chards of 50 acres or more, or as a community project.
