the gas is kept in a flexible rec,eiver in the guard's van.
From the van iron tubes carry the gas over the tops of the
carriages, the connexion between the pipes on each car
riage being made of flexible tubing. From the pipes over
the tops of carriages short suspenders drop into each com-
partment of the carriages, to which are attached neat
brackets, wad glass globes. Thus a flood of light, by which
I asseagers may read comfortably, is obtained, and con-
siderable warmth is imparted by the lamps, whilst all foul
air cseapel 14rough the roof.
