THE PRODUCTION OF GAS FOR GAS ENGINES The constantly increasing use of gas engines for power andlighting work has brought with it a strong demand for appa-ratus that will produce a working gas of constant calorificvalue. The dissatisfaction with the earlier types of gas engineswas principally due to their poor regulation and to the rapiddeterioration caused by high-working temperatures and impuregases. Improved methods of construction have in a largemeasure reduced their mechanical defects, but even the best gasengines will fail unless supplied with proper fuel. The Power & Mining Machinery Company (formerlyLoomis-Pettibone Gas Machinery Company), of New York,has for many years made a specialty of erecting plants for theproduction of fuel gas, having long recognized the necessity ofproviding the means for producing gas for power at the lowestpossible cost, utilizing in the highest degree the heat value of.
