TO GAS CON MERs.
We would call your attention TO
NEW GAS REGULATOR,
DIR. CHAs. M. CREssoN,
INVENTED BY

Gate Managing Engineer Of the Philadelphia Gas
Works possessing GREAT DELTCACY Of adjustment,
by the use OF peculiar form OF waive and holder,
governing accurately single light, with cspaoTty to
pass gns enough for the full number OF lights aad the
ability within the instrument ITSELF TO increase the
pressure, when the greater quantity OF is required
Among the peculiar advantages OF this Regulator,
that make 1t preferable to instruments Of
tracted size. which require the use Of MFRCURY or
FIJI XIBLE DIAPHRA AGMs the following deserya
especial notice -:
FIR THE free motion OF the Regulating valve
through considerable space gives grea or de cacy OF
adjustment, and wider range of consumption In
single instrument, than is possible with other forms
sECoND-1he fluid seal OF GLYCk RINE used I'm this
REGU LATOR avoids the dangers resulting In her
forms. from the unwholesOme vapors of Mercury
which, passing off with the Gas, disseminated
throughout the rooms in which II burned subectng
the occupants To ALL THE DELE1ERI0US EFFEUTS
OF MERCURY upon the human system, and espoca ly
upon the LUNGS and SKIN, when It thus dTused as
vapor The accidental overflow Of Mercury from heSo
mercuria Seals hast often injured valuab Gas Sic ers
the cost orwhich has necessarily been charged to the
consumer
Where the use Of MERCURY in regu ators is avoided
by the substitution Of a FLEXIBLE DIAPHR NGM the
resulting difficulties also Numerous; one Is the ia
bity TO LEAK GE and EXPLOSION OF GAS, an
other, the loss OF Flexlby and consequent in neicency
bv and exposure to cOld and th1dly the Inherent
vice of OF oelicacy OF adu jtmen. and range of
action.
10 remedy these faults, the "CREssoN REGULN q,
TOR" was invented and wherever introduced It has
given the greatest satisfac ton, always producing
steady light ana regular consumption, with q saving OF
IRON TWENTY to THlRTY Per Cent IN amount of gas
consumed
LE1FERS PATENT have be on gran cd for this Reeu-
lator, both in the UNITED STATES and in ENGLAND
Il is manufactured by the
AMERICAN METER COMPANY"
OF NEW YORK, PHILADELPHIA, and boston. for
alone and Tor ste Wholesale and Retail at our ware
houses in this city, all orders and letters should be
addressed.
The following Is an extract from the journal of the
FRANKLIN INSTITUTE dated October 49, 1866 :-"Au
experimental trial was thea made TO the quantity Of
consumed by the burners when regu alton 10
eirmaxmum economy, and the amo unit consumed
By the burners when subjected to the ordinary
| varstiOns of street pressure.
The result showed that with the Regulator there
uniform ly 7S cubic feet gas per hour consumed
being average of lO cubic per burner Whilst
without the Regulator the same burners consumed
from log 10 lao cubic feet per hour the average being ss
| cubic feet, or 6 feet per hour to each burner"
The test apparatus which was set up in the FRANK
| LIN INSTIl U e can be seen at our
SCALE WAREHOUSE
In this city, where the public are invited to call and
examine Tor themselves the amount of saving effected
by the use of the
CRESSON REGULATOR.
