Huddle at Iaeger

Niel - 

That isn't a rod.  It's a vertical pipe that forms the water gauge.  Notice the fitting at the bottom and the plunger at the top; pushing down on the plunger admits water to the pipe from the bottom.  The pipe has holes drilled at intervals indicating approximately 2000-gallon increments; by noting how many "holes" the water escapes from, you know how much you have.

  On the "huddle" photo there is a rod of some kind just to the right of the hand rail on the tender.  Excuse questions from a novice, but what is it and what was it used for ?  I  model in 0, but I have never seen this on a model.  Seems to me that it would be a simple matter to add that detail.

  Thanks for your  help.

  Have a happy day.
