governing accurately single light. with spSeIty to

ability within the instrument ITSELF to increase tue

Among the peculiar advantages OF this Regulator,
that make II preferable to Instruments of CON
tracted size, which require the use of MERCURY or
FLLXIBLE DIAPHRAGMs, the following deserve
especial notice -
FIR THE free motion of the Regulating Valve
through considerable space, gives grea efficacy OF
adjustment, and a wider range of consumption In a
single instrument, than is possible with other formse
SECOND-1he fluid sea- of GLYCERINE used In this
REGULAToR, avoids the danger resulting in other

Where the 0fMERCURY in regulates Is avciied
by the substitution of FLEXIBLE DIAPRRAGM the
resulting difficulties also Numerous; ono is the LA
biity to LEAKAGE and EXPLOSION OFF GAS; an
other, the loss OF Fexiblty and consequent nccancv

vice of want of aelicacy Of du5ment, and range of
action.
To remedy these faults, the "CREssoN REGQIA-

The following is ON extract from the Journal of the
FRANKLIN INSTITUTE, dated October 49, lsGss--~An
experimental trial then made to the quantity of
gas consumed by the burners when under regulation to
thelrmaxmuEn economy, and also the consumed
by the same burners when subjected TO the ordinary
variations of street pressure.
~ he result showed that with the Regulator there
uniform " Is cubic feet OF gas porhour consumed
being average of 7l0 cubic feet per burner Whilst
without the, Regulator the same burners coRsumed
from lO6 10 14O cubic feet hour ths being 26
| cubic feet, or feet per hour to each burner ="
