[Steam-engine] boiler feedwater injector conection

[Jim Showers]

They do, the pipe extends below water level and is closed off at the end. 
There are several 1/8" holes drilled in the pipe  directing the water in 
different directions.  The water would be heated as it traveled down the 
tube to the holes in the tubes.  The non condensing cars had a exhaust feed 
water heater, and the condensing cars feedwater was already warmed by the 
condensed steam.
