• Welsbach made use of this fact to secure a burner in which the illumination depends upon the glowing of an incandescent, solid mantle, rather than upon the blazing of a burning gas. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• A great variety of lamps was made of the platinum-iridium type, mostly with thermal devices to regulate the temperature of the burner and prevent its being melted by an excess of current. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• The gauge is attached to the gas burner and the pressure is read by means of a scale attached to the gauge. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• To this end the burner portion through which the wick passed was perforated at its base to create a proper draft, and later the cap over the base was also perforated. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.
• It was assumed that the difficulty lay in the material of the burner itself, and not in its environment. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• In the Welsbach burner the light seen does not proceed directly from the combustion of the gas, but from the white hot mantle. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• On the first introduction of gas-light, the companies who supplied it charged a fixed sum for each burner of a given size. Frederick C. Bakewell. Great Facts.
• At the commencement of his new attempts, Edison returned to his experiments with carbon as an incandescent burner for a lamp, and made a very large number of trials, all in vacuo. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• After the bulb has been filled with the mercury, it is placed in a beaker of water and the water is heated by a Bunsen burner. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• Among the great number of mechanical devices which have grown out of the use of gas may be mentioned the gas range for heat, the gas engine for power, and the Welsbach burner for light. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• In 1845 August King patented, in England, an incandescent lamp, having an unsealed platinum burner, and also a carbon in a vacuum. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• In a house in which there were twenty burners, the tanks were filled with water and carbide but once a fortnight. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• Tubes are inserted into the latter for conveying the gas to the burners. Frederick C. Bakewell. Great Facts.
• The gas enters from the street pipe through the opening, _a_, and it is forced out to the burners through the pipe, _b_, the latter being seen in the narrow section only. Frederick C. Bakewell. Great Facts.
• There are two very distinct types of electric heating elements or burners, the disc or closed type, and the open-coil type. Various. The Wonder Book of Knowledge.
• This success inflamed the wood owners and the charcoal burners and they destroyed Dudley's works. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.
• A similar stove with jets of flame from vapour burners has been used to soften hard asphalt pavement when it is desired to take it up. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.
• The particular type of range herewith illustrated (Fig. 21) uses a burner of the open-coil type, both for the surface burners and for the oven. Various. The Wonder Book of Knowledge.
• One of the problems to be solved on the original formation of gas works was the size of pipes, and the amount of pressure required to force the gas to the various burners. Frederick C. Bakewell. Great Facts.
• Their efforts had been confined to low-resistance burners of large radiating surface for their lamps, but he realized the utter futility of such devices. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• Many cooking operations which are performed in ordinary ovens with the burners on, can be prepared in this particular style of oven by using stored heat for the last half of the operation. Various. The Wonder Book of Knowledge.
• It is stored under a pressure sometimes as high as 150 pounds to the inch, its pressure being reduced at the burners through the agency of pressure regulators. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
