Heretofore it has been customary to pass the air tube or inlet through the heel of the faucet and carry the almost to the top of the keg. . . . Practical experience, however, has demonstrated that this is a very defective arrangement."-- Edward A. Byrne. Filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office June 18, 1884.
