of these consisted Of gas holder about four feet high
and three and half feet in diameter which contains air
only From this holder the air conveyed by pipe to the
generator which contains the Kerosene fluid Through this
fluid the air passes and receives its Illuminating properties
From the generator is conveyed pipes to the burner
