THE UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER
30 to 50 per Cent. Saved !
The Patentees beg to call public attention to the following facts,
Ile advantages resulting from the invention are various and
striking. Independently of a saving of 30 to 50 per cent„ the com-
bustion is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior to any light
hitherto discovered. It emits neither smell nor smoke, and burns
steadily for any period ; and such is its purity, that it neither affects
or soils the most delicate colour or the finest fabric. Objections have
made to the introduction of gas in dwellin-houses, to the expense of
fittings, to its destruction of furniture, draperies, gold moulding, &c, ;
these are entirely obviated by the "PATENT UNIVERSAL GAS
BunNza." As the cost of laying on gas is much lower than is com-
monly supposed, it Is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for
club-houses, hotels, manufactories, and public buildings. One of the
small burners is amply sufficient to light a good-sized room, at a sum
immeasurably lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of
waste or trouble.
The merits of the "Burner," its brilliancy and economy surpassing
every other known light, are shown by the annexed authentic
opinions of the qualities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER.
Extract from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers,
Tuesday, 26th May, 1846, Sir JOHN RENNIE, President, in the Chair.
" A gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited.
The principal novelty was the of a stream of air to the
centre of the flame by a hollow button in the middle of the burner.
The air passing up through the hollow stem of the button, was
heated, and passed out by two series of fire-holes around the periphery,
and impinging with force on the flame of the gas curved it outwards
in the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling with
the carburetted hydrogen gas, produced a very pqrfect combustion,
The flame was quite white down the top of the burner, was very steady,
as was amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution,
where these burners have been used. In comparing the consumption
of these burners with that of the concentric ring burners, and trying
the power of the two lights by the photometer, the new burner gave a
better light, with a saving of rather more than one-third."

POLYTECHNIC CHEMICAL SCHOOL.—" In testing Clark, Mc Men,
and Co.'s Universal Gas Burner with one of the best shawdowless
turners, it gave a more pure and brilliant light, with a saving of 20
to 25 per cent." GEORGE CRISP, Engineer,
ROBT. LONGBOTTOM, Secretary,
CERTIFICATE.
" In a series of experiments made upon Clark, Mc Niel!, and Co.'s
Patent Universal Gas Burner, its superiority was satisfactorily esta
blished in economy and the quality of the light. Tested against
argand burners, Nos. 4 (12 holes), and 6 (15 holes), it afforded a
saving of at least 25 per cent., and against three fish-tail burners,
No. 4, 40 per cent. The colour and brilliancy of the flame is supe-
rior to any other burner."
T. W. KEATES, Consulting Chemist,
J. D. PALMER, Mechanical Inspector.
The UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER is used nightly at the Poly-
technic Institution, and may be had and seen from 11 till 4, at the
Patentees, 60, St. Martin's-lane, Charing-cross ; and of all Gas Fitters
in London.
