The gas as it leaves the generator GASEOUS AND LIQUID FUELS 283 requires no further mixing with air and therefore the burners arenot of the Bunsen type. Central-generator gas machines are made in a number ofdifferent forms by different manufacturers, all of which areintended to perform the same work but differ in the mechanismemployed. The machines are simple in construction and as inthe hollow-wire system are capable of using lower grades ofgasoline than can be used with the cold-process plants. Thegas from a central
