Kidder's Patent Gas Regulator
Producing uniform Lgb,,
And ehectins n Saving of 25 per cent.

NO GAS CONSUMER WHO DESIRES
= ' steady agreeable and economical light, should
he without this valuable invention, which al
does away with all personal attention to gas Lights
and secures invariably the utmost economy in the
consumption of gas.
1t i. in successful operation in the largest Hotel.
and Factories of the United States, and in thousand.
Of private residences, everywhere thoroughly per.
forming its work. 1t has been fully tested by tho
most eminent Gas Engineers Of the MON, and the
Company has yet to hear of the first instance in
which it has failed to he approved.

Dear Sir :-Enclo,cd send You certificate .c,
ting forth briefly | can the advantage. If pr.
kidde-, admirable invention. dc not think il
necessary to mention any experiment, may have
made Dr.. Elicit, Torrey and Gibbs have book
full to be produced when needed. | will add here,
however, To be used when you desire il. the result
of an experiment made at these Works, and which
can be repeated whenever desired With the street
pressure of four and half inches If and
burner near the governor, the pressure of the burner
gauge wa. seven-tenhs. The governor remaining
untouched, the number Of lights increased +"
ffty-four extending ."rfacc If several hun
dred feet and the street pressure reduced :"
two inches and the pressure gauge at the governor.

The Gas Regulator of DR.. kidlcr i, in my opin.
ion, the most valuable instrument for reguatng the
flow of ga To the burners that have ever Seen.--
1t j. correct in principle, and will accomplish admir-
ably the ohiec,s for which it designed. 1t will
insure great stcadness in the lights, and the
pressure at the metre is by th, instrument reduced
considerably below that on the street MAINS it will
enable the consumer to gain All equal amount #
light at smaller expenditure of gas for the lea
the pressure under which the gas is consumed, tue
greater l. the amount of light obtained.

My engagements prevented me from experiment.
ing with your Regulator before this week. | had
it put up aud arranged that | could show th.
pressure Of the works on the burners, which vary
from to u inches | made weights of lead
and weighed it go brought the pressure clio. the
pressure the street mains q inches, and with Of
your feet burners under the street pressure, the
cock. turned of so that they would not perceptbly
blow, consumed j? cubic feet in IS minutes.
then put the Regulator and opened tho cocks full
same number of burners, burning the same time, l
consumed cubic feet, showing a saving of 25 per
cent. The experiment to me wa, very satisfactory
the lights burned very steadily. ! could not per
ceive any difference in the pressure fame whether
one or six of the lights were burning. From what
I have seen, would have no hesitation in recon
mending its use.
Respectfully yours,
