High Point
a city in North Carolina, in Guilford co., on the Southern of a dangerous head of steam, and to prevent an explosion of a steam generator. A high-pressure engine is a steam engine, condensing or non-condensing, in which the the safety-valve is loaded (United States) with a weight equivalent to a boiler-pressure of 35 pounds to the square inch. The term "highpressure" has a very indefinite signification; condensing engines are often called "low-pressure," and non-condensing engines "high-pressure," but the question of condensing is not necessarily one of pressure.
