Injector

a steam boiler feeder, composed of a bou, or casing enclosing one or more series of converging and diverging nozzles, so arranged and proportioned that the entering steam will cause a continuous injection of feed water against the initial boiler pressure. The body is provided with branches for the steam, water, and delivery pipes, and a waste pipe or overflow. In England and on the Continent, the branches are flanged, but in the United States screw coupling nuts are used. Both the body and the tubes are made of some durable non-corroding material, preferably bronze or red brass. a INN some cases under statutes by a court of law, whereby a party is required to do, or to refrain from doing, certain acts, according to the exigency of the writ.

In the United States, the writ of injunction, as resorted to in labor disputes, has occasioned much controversy. Injunctions issued against strikers were alleged to "convert innocent acts into a crime." The Federal courts were the principal subjects of criticism in 1901.
