When filled to 10 atmos-pheres these holders would contain 376 cubic feet, and wouldsupply five four-flame lamps, two vestibule lamps and two bracketlamps, consuming altogether 16 cubic feet an hour, for about 24hours full burning.

A holder 6 i long, 16^ diam. contains when filledto 10 atm. cubic feet. J 142 RULES FOR MOVEMENT OF TRAINS One of the ordinary style two-flame burners is shownin Figure 53^ illustrating its application to a baggagecar. Special inverted mantle burners for use with Pintschgas are now used. B!y their use it is claimed a steadywhite light is produced and the candle increased morethan three fold. The regulator has to be arranged so asto give an outlet pressure of one pound per square inch.
