THE NEW LIMELIGHT SCOTT'S BENZOLINE SATURATOR. PATENT APPLIED FOR. Price from 10s. Gd. This is used as an accessory to the oxy-hydrogen limelight. It consists ofa metal cylinder, about four inches in length and diameter, stuffed with wool, and furnished with a tap at each end, with nozzles for rubber pipes. One tap is connected with the gas-bag containing coal-gas; the other nozzle with the hydrogen or coal-gas tap of jet. The coal-gas thus passes through the Saturator ex route from bag to lantern, thereby hecoming enriched with vapour of benzoline. The vessel is charged with benzoline, all excess being drained off, so that no fluidcan run out in any position of the Saturator. The cost of benzoline is one half-penny per hour. ADVANTAGES OF THE SATURATOR. 1. An increase in light of twenty per cent, with an ordinary mixed gas orchamber jet. 2. An increase of 59 per cent with the blow-through jet, when there is an insufficient supply of coal-gas, as is often the case. 3. Eight feet of gas passed through the Saturator are equal to twelve feet without the Saturator; hence a smaller bag of coal-gas is sufficient, and the extra time required to fill the larger bag with \ coal-gas is saved. 4. An increase in light of 30 per cent with a “ porous safety" ether saturator : oxygen passing first through the benzoline and then through the ether vessel. SPECIAL OFFER. A. W. SCOTT undertakes to double the power of any mixed gas jet sent to him, by supplying a Saturator, and adjusting the jet nipple, for 12/6; or the two jets ofa bi-unial, with one Saturator, for 15/-.. The Saturator is sent on approval; if returned in$ days the cash will be refunded SCOTTS WARM-BATH BENZOLINE SATURATOR. PATENT APPLIED FOR. Price from 25s, for Single Lanterns only. This consists of a benzoline Saturator, placed in a bath of warm air; oxygen is passed through the vessel, and the manipulation is the same as with ether Saturators. The apparatus is thoroughly safe and workable, and is capable of producing a steady sight of over 1000 candles’ power, being the most powerful limelight known. ALBERT W. SCOTT; The Boulevard, Weston-super-Mare. THE LIME LIGHT. CONTINUED SUCCESS OF THE NEW ETHER SATURATOR (Patent). Advantages — Extreme portability, pure white light (far beyond coal gas and oxygen), absolute safety ; no coal or other gas required, only oxygen.
