KO This is the only Mixed Gas Jet which will work at full power with coal gas taken direct from the town supply, and oxygen from a cylinder. In order to effect this the oxygen, on its way to the mixing chamber, is made to pass through the small Injector | in the sketch at a pressure of about 12 lbs. per square inch. In passing through the Injector it sucks a supply of coal gas from the pipe H, which is connected with the house pipe, and forces it forward through the short pipe T into the mixing chamber M. Here the mixed gases meet the baffle plate B, which has the two-fold eftect of silencing the passage of the gases, and ensuring their complete admixture. The The requisite pressure It will yield If atown’'s supply is not We cannot see why ordinary mixed jets As for blow-through jets, we do not know why they should be used at all, when with the same economy and convenience of working, the Injector Jet will give two or three times the light.
