Therefore, on every gas stove or gasrange there is a mixer into which the gas passes on its wayto the burner. The mixer is supplied with some device for 130 THE PRODUCTION AND USE OF HEAT controlling the amount of air which enters and mixes withthe gas. Exercise 41.—Regulating the Air Supply of a Gas Stov
