THE difference between the use
OF this process and the general pro-
Cossos used in making gasoline IL
aCcentuutod by tho following facts;
"Tho large requirements In the
uso OF gasoline are now met by the
/ general use OF what is known as tho
Burton process. In order to produce
gasoline from any OF these processes,
/ IL Is necessary to have system Of
steel tanks or stills, in which the
/ heavy oil is placed and heated. Un-
der high pressure of from 20 TO 800
| pounds per square inch, the Vapors
escape from the still and are con-
denscd only the light products are
permitted TO escape Tho original
installation under any OF these pro-
cesses would cost at least four times
the installation required FOR the op-
GRAFTON OF the Bamage process.
Tho use OF the Burton process
does not give the resultant single
product OF gasoline as the use OF
the ltumage process gives one prod
Iuct, supcr-gas, hut gives series of
IproduCts. such as gasoline, kerosene
fuel oil, etc, and the result has been
In the oil industry that, by reason
of the lack OF stability of the prod
uct other than gasoline. gasoline
has had To bear tho whole expense
/, OF operation. To a largo extent this
has been the cause OF the mainten'
ance OF the high price Of gasoline
and even In such case, the recovery
under the Burton process does moi
exceed from 80 per cent to SO PEI
cent. as against double that In th'
Ramage process.
In short Barnsdall has passed

The company estimates that as de
