TO GAS CONSUMERS.

THE PATENT GAS REGULATOR insures a
saving of 25 per Cent. upon former consumption, while at
the same time a more brilliant light is obtained, and the un-
pleasant effects upon respiration, gilding, colours, &c., resulting
from the escape of unconsumed Gas, are, by a more perfect com-
bustion, avoided.
Gas is generally delivered from the Street Mains at a pressure
of l& inches of water, often reaching to 3 inches. Experiments
have demonstrated that when of good quality it is most economi-
cally burnt at a pressure of four-tenths of an inch.
The Patent Regulator, when once adjusted, continues to furnish
Gas at one uniform pressure, unaltered by the constant fluctua-
tions of the street supply, and in its action is entirely independent
of the number of burners it supplies.
At the undermentioned Offices an Experimental-room is fitted
up to demonstrate the results as above stated. The Regulator has
been thoroughly and practically tested at the numerous Railway
Companies, large Establishments, Public Institutions, and Private
Mansions, to which we can with pleasure and satisfaction refer as
the best proof of its utility and value.
