Tubes leadingfrom these are brought together at theirextremities, and the two gases deliveredfrom apertin-es situated 1-3 0th of an inchapart, are burned in a single jet. Thebest result is attained by so arranging thestop-cocks of the gasometers, that thevolume of hydrogen flowing out shaU bedouble that of the oxygen. The effects of the compound blow-pipe may be produced in a degree by passing a stream of hydrogen through the flame of a spirit-lamp, as is represented in Fig. 103. The effects of the oxyhydrogen blow-pipe are very remarkable. Substances that are infusible in the most intenseFig 103 blast furn
