The valve motion is positive and not affected by moisture in compressed air.
The pneumatic dredges are those in which the material from the bottom is forced into the suction tube and thence into the discharging pipe, by the action of continuous jets of compressed air turned upward into the tube.
It is connected by a flexible tube to a cylinder of compressed oxygen, and by another tube to a supply of coal-gas.
