The pressure ofthe air when turned on at one cylinder puts the startingmechanism into operation and at the same time puts the cylin-der out of service as a gas engine. When the engine is up to speed, turning off the air puts thegas engine into commission without changing a valve, cam orlever. The Sargent engine is built by the Wellman-Seaver-MorganCompany, of Cleveland. Suction Gas Producers. Suction gas-producer plants are being more and more in-troduced with great success in this country on account of theirsimple working and great economy in running and maintainingexpenses. They are used in connection with gas engines forde\eloping power for all kinds of industries and shops. A. SUCTION GAS PLANT. general discussion of suction gas producers was already givenon page 432 of our Vol. II. A suction gas producer, as shown in the cut, is now workingsuccessfully in the machine shop of the F. W. Horstmann Co.,East Newark, N. J. This shop, which was using before illuminating gas in connection with a gas engine, is now usinga gas producer. The plant, which was built by Dr. OskarNagel, of New York City, is working according to the guaran-tee given with the plant, that is, the development of i B. H. from pounds of anthracite (pea) on full luad, ipounds on three-fourths load, and pounds on one-half load. The plant has a capacity of 20 hp., and consists of a hand-blower, producer with evaporator on top of same, and ascrubber, which is shown on the cut. The overflow water potwhich belongs to the plant is in the pit between the producerand the scrubber, and a small equalizing tank is connected onthe floor below to the engin
