Round- Wick Burners.—Burners for kerosene lamps are constructed to carry either flat or roundwicks. In the Argand or round-wick burner, the air to support combustion enters at a perforatedring at the base of the burner, and, passing through the inner tube, supplies the interior of the burners are varied by having the inner tube depressed below the outside tube, the perforationfor air-supply being variously situated, as on the ring surrounding the bas
