THE UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER.
30 to 50 per Cent. Saved !
To be had at the Patentees, 60, St. Martin's-lane, Charing-cross.
The Patentees beg to call public attention to the following facts,
the 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 brilliaitcy 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 dwelling-houses, to the expense of
fittings, to its destruction of furniture, draperies, gold moulding, &c.;
these are entirely obviated by the " PATENT UNIVERSAL 13A5
Bustrimi." As the cost of laying on gas is muck lower than is com-
monly supposed, it is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for
el üb-housoe,,•hotels. mann fkoto4eoi and publis buildings.. One of thipo
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 Jour/ RENNIE, 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 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 perfect 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 wills 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."
