the generating cup (G. C., Fig. 6']) ; (b) applying a match to the gener- 

 ating cup before the control valve is closed; (c) attempting to light the 

 burner after it has 

 been blown out by the 

 wind or in some other 

 manner and the bot- 

 tom of the burner box 

 is covered with gaso- 

 line. With this type 

 of heater, this occur- 

 rence is very rare 

 since the burner is 

 placed back under the 

 house where the wind 

 cannot reach it.

the burner box, the control valve should be closed as soon as it is dis- 

 covered and the gasoline allowed to evaporate entirely before any attempt 

 is made to relight the burner. As an extra precaution a basin may be 

 placed outside under the drip to prevent waste and also to avoid gasoline 

 filtering into the soil. A tin flashing should be placed above and below 

 the burner box on the back side of the house as an extra precaution 

 against fire. 



Should any difficulty be experienced in getting a large enough flame 

 to maintain the proper temperature under the hover during cold weather, 

 the burner should be examined for stoppage. It sometimes happens that 

 little particles of sediment in the gasoline clog the opening (o) at the 

 needle end of the control valve. (Fig. 67.) This can be remedied by 

 closing the control valve and forcing the point of the needle through the 

 opening in the valve seat (Fig. 6"]^. This will clear away any obstruc- 

 tion that might be there. It might be difficult to get a sufficiently large 

 blaze because the opening above referred to is too small. This may be 

 remedied by opening the control valve so that the point of the needle will 

 be back out of the way and then drawing a file at right angles across 

 the hole, thus enlarging it. 



The burner used is the Dangler* Furnace and Laboratory Lamp 

 Burner, No. 154. This burner has been selected for use in the Gasoline- 



*The Dangler Stove Co., Div., Cleveland ,|^Ohio.
