PATENT GAS-METER.—A new kind of gas-meter has
been patented, which prowl e 4 to effect al the orpose of
such an instrument more accurately, regularly, anti econo-
mically that any other yet devised. Its first cost is be-
low the average. And its wear and tear is inconsideral le..
It is almost superfluous to say that it is a dry meter,.
for water meters of every kind labour under the incurable
evil of corrosion by ammoniacal and sulphuric deposits,
The chief peculiarities of the patent meter are that it
works at less than one tenth of the ti=ual pressure; at the
same.time giving a perfectly steady light ; all temlency to
jumping being obviated by a peculiar contri ante, wh Toby
the works lubricate themselves. The dial is very 1 trge;
it has two hands like a clock, and may be real wi,h great
facility and precision by the consumer. With sun an.
apparatus mistakes and disputes can seldom occur. This
meter is the invention of Mr. Hutchison, the engine:T of
the gasworks at Viluichall. A company called the B:•itisit
Patent Dry Gas-Meter Company • has been foimed b
bring it prominently before the public, and it is &ready
employed in the Colosseum, the Adelaide Gallery, A ;Hey's
Theatre, and other public buildings. The offici s 'of the
Company are 1, Dale-street, Liverpool; and 7, Adam,-
sneA, Adelphi, London.
