the Pipes, but in all the outlet of the Metre
should be- used if possible.
While the workman is handling the Regulator it
hoaid remain locked, in crier to protect the inter

construction, by u7skillful handling or accident,
when uncovered, aerc5 Othffr.se, might b. disar-
ranged. After the Regulator has been con. ected
with the Metre aud IiIes. the cover should be re-
,novld AN. the Aerenry Toured into the space be-
tween the movable Cup or Gasometer. and the rim

moderate cot. The full benefit of the Regulator
'annot be obtained unless Proper Burners are used,
The kind recommended 10y the company az known

pect that this Machine will remedy every defect OF
Pies and Burners of the Metre DOR yet make badly

consumer of Gas ia fully of the constantly re
curing accidents to his Apparatus, and the Conpa-
mp therefore does not expect that the first trouble
after the Regulator is applied, will, in all cases, BE-
attributed to the Regulator.
