24,212. Clark, L. R. Nov. 23. Gas or explosive-vapour engines, carburetting in. Mercury rises and falls, according to the pressure in the induction pipe of the motor, and controls the supply of fuel and supplementary air to the carburettor. The carburettor consists of a petrolsupply portion and a supplementary air-supply portion and has a minimum of moving parts. The former is shown in Fig. 2 and the latter in Fig. 3. Air enters at 8, passes up the cylinder 4<b>, sucks fuel through the nozzle 12, and carries it to the chamber 3<a> and induction pipe 50. Fuel enters by a pipe 9 over the reduced end of which a cap 10 with holes 11 is screwed. The chamber 15, Figs. 2 and 3, communicates with the atmosphere through openings 19, 19<a> in a cylinder 14. The openings 19 are regulated by a float 18 which rests on mercury contained in the chamber 20. A rod 37 is provided for starting purposes. Mercury is placed in the chamber 20 to such a depth that some of the openings 11, Fig. 2, are closed. The suction of the engine will then be transmitted to the mercury through the pipe 42. The main air and fuel will pass to the induction pipe 50, while the supplementary air will pass through holes in the conical body 34 and mingle with the main supply on its way to the engine. The portion shown in Fig. 3 may bo dispensed with.
