 ... horse power type weighs 33 kilogrammes. It consists of an iron tube having a length of 2 meters and a height of 10.5 centimeters after it has been flattened; the total heating surface thus obtained being 48 square centimeters.

... made to ascertain the temperature of the gas in the retort; and for this purpose one of Murrie's pyrometers was used, the action of which depends on the pressure produced by the vaporization of mercury in a malleable iron tube. The end of this tube was first rested on the top of the coal, but not in contact with the retort. It reached about 18 inches into the retort, and therefore was not in the hottest part. In this position the temperature indicated shortly after ...

Still, refractory as carbon is, if we closely examined our voltaic arc, or stream of ...
