Your little Pilot plant will
need filling with the eas-pro-
ducing stone "Union Carbide"
and water few times a year.
As the entire machine sets
above ground the residue drains
of automatically when the outlet
Is opened. This simplicity and
ease of operation will appeal to
everyone familiar with the in
convenience of rechargine other
types of Acetyiene machines.
The Union Carbide you can
buy anywhere in sheet steel
drums holding one hundred
pounds each. In these drums
the Carbide can be stored for
an indefinite time as safely az
coal. because it won't burn or
can't explode.
IN short, the Pilot Outdoo,
plant will supply you with a
light every bit as convenient
and far r,orc brilliant than cleo
tricity at one quarter Of the
cost. In addition it will supply
you with gas for cooking = as
good as that used by the mil
lions in the cities.
