Gasoline Generators, F i g. 50,560, for producing gas for lighting, heating and power; very little 

 attention required; gas always ready for use, being generated in accordance with the supply 

 needed. The gasoline (also called hydrine, soline or hexane) is a petroleum distillate and consists 

 of light hydro-carbons ; Gasoline is a Gas formed for the greater part of air. it is non-poisonous, 

 makes itself felt when interruptions occur by a smell which is not unpleasant; and danger of 

 explosion is reduced to a minimum especially when compared with coal gas, acetylene, etc. 



The gas apparatus (see Fig. Xo. 50,560) comprises a gas generator and gasometer A, the air bellows B, 

 and the gasoline tank C. A suction cylinder in the bellows, B, is set in motion by any convenient source of 

 power (as a rule by a driving weight z), sucks air through an orifice in the back wall of the bellows, and forces 

 the same at a certain pressure through the pipe line a d, which is adjusted by the cock b, into the gas gene- 

 rator. The liquid in the generator is set into motion by means of the drive f actuated by a screw wheel. The 

 gasoline flows from the tank C through a thin line of piping t, into the carburetter, the quantity being regulated 

 to the consumption by an exhauster arrangement. The gas mixture generated contains only 1 kg gasoline in
