High Pressure Pintsch Gas Regulator 264 RAILWAY AGE GAZETTE, MECHANICAL EDITION Vol. 88, No. 5 required at the torch for cutting or welding does not exceed25 lb. per sq. in., which is obtained by means of the secondpressure reduction. When Pintsch gas is taken from holdersor pipe lines at pressures up to 14 atmospheres, an automaticlow pressure regulator is used. This regulator is designed tomaintain any desired uniform pressure reduction. The oxygen is delivered at a uniform working pressure up to150 lb. per sq. in. An automatic oxygen pressure regulator is em-ployed, and is designed for the use of either high pressure orlow pressure oxygen; it is equipped with a safety valve whichreleases when a pressure of 300 lb. per sq. in. is exceeded. One of the engravings shows the Oxy-Pintsch cutting torch,model A. There are but two hose connections, one for Pintschgas and one for oxygen. The Pintsch gas and oxygen for theheating flame are controlled by two lever valves, m
