A pipe opening into the chamber, conducts the atmospheric aircompressed by the buffer T, to the bottom of the apparatus for making the gas at H. This consistsof an iron cylindrical vessel filled with naphtha. The compressed air being conducted through thepipe P to the bottom of the vessel H, passes upwards through the naphtha, and in this mannerforms a combustible gas. This illuminating gas leaves the vessel H at J, and is discharged atregular intervals in rapid succession into the atmosphere at J, to be ignited by the constant flameof the burner N. This burner is fed by gas which is made in the apparatus H, and is deliveredby the pipe K into the small gasholder M, proceeding thence to the burner by the pipe N. N is ascreen of sheet iron which protects the flame from being extinguished. The horizontal flame fromthe burner J is intermittent, being expelled with greater or less force according to the pressure of.

On the cylinder near the cover, Fig. 1235, is the valve chest X, containing two valves h and c,which are placed opposite each other, and both of which open inwards. The valve c serves for the 1231.
