The following is an extract from the journal Of the
FRANKLIN INSTITUTE, dated october ls, 1865 An
experimental trial then sde to the qlan ity OF
gas consumed by the burners when under regu alton 10
their irmaximum economy, and he unit consumed
by the same burners when subjected TO the ordinary
variations of street pressure.
- he result showed that with the Regulator there
uniform ly 78 cubic feet gas per hour consumed,
being average of 7l0 cubic feet per burner Whilst
without the Regulator the burners consumed
06 l4O cubic feet per hour the average being ss
cubic feet, or feet per hour to each burner "
