In the hollow-wiresystem the same type of burner is used, but the gasoline is forcedinto the burner by the pressure in the tank. In Fig. 202 is shown a sectional view of the burner as it appearsin the stove. The supply tank, or hollow wire from the pressuretank, sends the gasoline into the tube A at the bottom of thestove, to which several burners may be attached. The tube B,through which the gasoline percolates on its way to the generator,is filled with moderately coarse sand, or other material that isintended to prevent the gasoline from being forced out of thepipe by the pressure that is developed in the generator. The. GASEOUS AND LIQUID FUELS 289 pieces C-C are perforated metal plugs that prevent the escapeof the particles of which B is composed. The generator is a brass casting D-D which is firmly screwedto the top of the tube B. A needle-valve E governs the dischargeof the gasoline vapor at G, where the vapor enters the tube Hj asindicated at K-K, The gasoline vapor enters the open Bunsentube Hy and with it is carried the air necessary to produce therequired gas for complete combustion. The piece N is thegenerating cup in which is burned the generating fluid—eithergasoline or alcohol. The gasoline from the pipe A percolatesthrough the material in B and flows into the generator. Theneedle-valve being closed, the space D-D fills with gasoline. To light the burner, the hand-wheel J is turned, opening theneedle-valve a sufficient length of time to allow the gasoline tofill the cup N with
