WATER-GAS PLANT. Lowetype. An iron cylinder lined with fire-brick. Air is blown in at the bottom forheating the coal or coke. Then steam isblown in at the top, passing through thehot fuel and discharged at the bottom aswater gas. Fuel is fed through the hop-per at the top. By reversing the blowingby steam and air, producer gas is madeand discharged through the side pipe atthe right. 381. THE WELLS LIGHT. The light is produced by pass-ing kerosene oil through a heated burner, where it is generated into gas, the gas burning in a large, power-ful flame which needs no protec-tion, and will stand any weather. The oil is forced into the tankby the pump M, through the hosepipe K, until it is two-thirds full,compressing the air already in thetank to about 25 lbs, pressure. The burner is heated by burn-ing a little oil in the dish C, theheat being concentrated aroundthe burner tubes by the chimneyS. In seven or eight minutes theburner will be sufficiently heated ;the valve B^ is then open
