GAS CONS MER S.

g A S c 0 N S U M z r S.
The equal distribution Of from one source of sup
ply 70 many points of Quiet, extending over large
area Involves a greater expense than is consistent
with commercial interests and the consequence is that
consumers are compelled to submit to the incOnve.
niepces of over and under supply, or individually to
apply the remedy.
The head which forces through the supply mains the
necessary amount Of gas for consumers is called pres
sure. and is measured by tue number of tenths of
inches of water which It win support in a syphon tube.
Every service pipe that conveys from the line Of
great main deprives the remaining portion of certain
amount OF pressure, shO consequence is that when
large amounts OF gas to be passed. the pressure at
the source of supply and at the, terminus is very
far from equal that 1t is utterly impossible for gas
companies to furnish supply without sensible diff
ference between the source and the extremity of use,
and the cOnseqent wasteful consumption by The con
samsrs.
There are two means OF remedy Ing this difficulty.
One is to place the house of each cOnsumor.a Cas-
holder of sufficient capacity contain the supply
night and allow 1t to be filled during the day and then
shut of from the street pressure, and burn from
holder.
nh. MIA In with fba
meter, an instrument called Regulator which only
shall furnish the amount gas required for each
burner and with a uniform pressure.
The first would prove erpensUe, ofeasipe, and dan
gerous The second is the plan generally adopted and
of the number OF devices contrived for this purpose
nearly all have proved failures owing to their OF
Mercury, or the Fler1Jle Diaphragm.
The two essential qualities to be attained in an eAi-
cent Regulator are :-FRsr delicacy of adjustment,
with reference to some fixed Standard; and SECOND,
the ability within the instrument itself to increase
the pressure when the greater quantity of gas is
quired
These qualities with other peculiar advantages,
combined in the Regulator invented by DIR. c. M
Cresson 1t has been used with great Phila
depha durn ng the past two years, always producing
steady light with saving of from twenty to thirty
C Mt in the amount gas consumed.

COPY OF REPORT
AT THE

IAN experimental trial was:henmade as to the quans
ty of gas consumed by the burners under regu-
laton to their maximum economy, ana also tho
consumed by he burners when subjected TO the
ordinary yara tons of street pressure,
The result showed that with the Regulator there Waz
uniformly 7s cubic feet of gas hour umed, being
average of 7lO cubic feet per burner. Whilst with
out the Regulator the same burners consumed from l0j
TO lao cubic feet hour the average being l2S cubic
feet, ore feet per hour to each burner"

The Advantages Of this orer other Regu-
LdtoTS GTe:-
l. The peculiar form In which Is constructed, giving
greater delicacy than possible with other forms.
q The free motion of the Regulating Valve governing
wider range of consumption.
g. 1t has the ability within the instrument itself to In

Is required.
4. 1t does not use MERCURY or FLEXIBLE DIA-

5. viii produce a steady light.
6. It Will cave fr )m TWENTY to THIRTY per cent In
the amo ant OF gas consumed.
Z. 1t is not liable to get out of order.

set up in the FRANKLIN INSTITUTE, to show the
effect of pressure, and without the Reg lator and
also to demonstrate the amount OF saving effected by

mare, by Ethan Allen out of Pocahontas.
The price paid was 100000. It's stated that
she went a mile in harness in = minutes
PSI seconds, and then, after the usual time
allowed between mile heats, repeated in
minutes % seconds. This is amazing, con-
