(Signed) W. J. COLES, A.M.1.C.E.” These Patent Stocks’ Lamps, of LO® Candle-power, can be purchased f. PRICE 28s. each. P rom all Dealers Ghe “Sector” Blow: Ghro’ Fet. 513 STANDARD CANDLE-POWER. Price 20s. each. The following is an extract from a report by Mr. W. J. COLES, A.M.1.C.E, :— “ This Jet was tested in order to ascertain—Firstly, its illuminating power, and secondly, the consumption of Oxygen. The results are as follows :—The maximum obtainable light was 513 candle-power with 13 in. pressure of Oxygen and 3? in. pressure of Hydrogen. The Ejector arrangement of Jet causes an increase of pressure of Hydrogen at Jet of over 100 per cent., that is, before turning on Oxygen the pressure of Hydrogen is equal to 3 of water, but when the Oxygen is flowing a partial vacuum is created, which causes a greater flow of Hydrogen and more than doubles its pressure at the Jet. Soft Limes are practically useless for this Jet, as they burn away very rapidly. ‘ Hardazion ' are the best. The distance that the lime should be from Jet is about half-an-inch.”’ This Jet is QUITE AS POWERFUL as an NOTE.—None are genuine ‘ Ejeetor "' Jets ordinary Mixed Jet, with the GREAT ADVAN-| unless stamped on each Key with the following TAGE that only ONE CYLINDER OF GAS| Trade mark :— (Oxygen) is required, the house gas being taken from the main as with the ordinary Blow-through Jets.
