COUNTRY HOUSE LIGHTING.
AIR GAS LIGHTING.
An excellent method of lighting Country Houses is by Air Gas, which is becoming very popular on account of low first cost, small upkeep, and the general satisfaction obtained from its use. Air Gas can be made available for illuminating establishments of all sizes, and especially those of moderate dimensions, being quite simple in manufacture and free from risk of explosion. Harrods have tested every make of machine in the market, and can strongly recommend Cox’s system. These machines are low in price but excellently made.
A 30-light machine can be run at its full capacity upon one gallon of petrol for 4½ hours, each light giving about 100 c.p. It should be understood that each light can, on all plants, be subdivided into lights of less candle-power.

ACETYLENE (GAS) FOR COUNTRY HOUSES.
We undertake the installation of complete ACETYLENE plants, and send an expert to advise Clients or give an estimate for work required to be done.
The ACETYLENE FLAME is peculiar and good in its affording a light more like that given by the sun (daylight) than any other artificial light; both colours and tints can be readily matched, and pictures can be appreciated by it. No other artificial light has this quality.
The products of combustion are the same as from coal gas, but only about one-twelfth the volume for a given light. The Acetylene flame is quite smokeless.
