It will enable a sounder judgment to be formed of the working of the
process if the complete experimental figures for a make of gas be
taken.

The last portion of the table shows the economy which arises as the
whole apparatus gets properly heated. Thus the first make used 3
gallons naphtha per 1,000 cubic feet, the second 2 gallons 6 pints per
1,000 cubic feet, and the third 2 gallons 4 pints per 1,000 cubic
feet, and it is, therefore, not unreasonable to suppose that in a
continuous make these figures could be kept up, if not actually
reduced still lower.
