Extract from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers,
Tuesday, 26th May, 1846, Sir JOHN MENHIR, President, in the Chair.
"A gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited.
The principal novelty was the introduction of a stream of air to the
centre of the flame by a hollow button in the middle of the burner.
The
heatair passing up through the hollow stem ef the button, was
and impinging with force en the flatus ef the gas curved it outwards

arburetted hydrogen gas, produced a very perfect combustion,
The tame was quite white dowa the top ef the burner, was very steady,
0 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 ght, with a saving of rather more than one-third."
