air to the effective space below the piston, and closes by the tripping of the adjustable cut-off arrangement; this is effected late or early in the stroke, as may be required. Wilcox's air-engine. The doors of the furnace and ash-pit are secured by cramps and hollow bolts to the walls, and are removable to replenish the fuel, or for grinding or packing to make an air-tight joint. 2. The second class is as the principle of the English patents of Glazebrook, 1797; and Parkinson and Crosley, 1827. Laubereau, April 10, 1849; patented in England, 1847. This engine is the first which embodies the peculiar features of a furnace in the air-heating chamber, and a hollow plunger of corresponding form. The air is alternately dilated and contracted by absorbing and giving out caloric, the air when separated by heat forcing up a piston in a cylinder, which is in turn forced down by the pressure of the atmosphere when the air is condensed by the abstraction of heat, the air for th

rearranged time. Gas-main. A principal gas-pipe leading from the works, and having branches and distributing pipes. See also hydraulic main, invented by Clegg in 1807, and forming a part of the gas-producing works. Gas-me′ter. A device for measuring the quantity of volume of passing gas. Citizen Seguin, of the National Institute of France, described a gas-meter at the sitting of the Institute, October 6, 1797. The wet-meter was invented by Clegg in 1807, and improved by Crosley in 1815. The dry-meter was invented by Malam in 1820, and improved by Defries in 1838. Many improvements and variations have been added since by various parties. A (Fig. 2183) is a longitudinal and B a transverse section of the wet-meter, which is composed of an outer box a partially filled with liquid, as water, alcohol, or glycerine, to the level of the line b c, somewhat above its center.

hich draw their supplies directly from the atmosphere, and discharge them into the atmosphere again after they have produced their effect. Such are the Ericsson, Stillman, Roper, Baldwin, Messer, Wilcox engines, described on pp. 40-43. See also Dr. Barnard's report on the French Exposition, pp. 34-40, and plate 1. Second, those which employ continually the same air, which is alternately heated and cooled, but which is not allowed to escape. Such are the Glazebrook (1797), Parkinson and Crosley (1827), Laubereau (1849), Schwartz, described on pp. 43, 44. These and other distinguishing features are described under air-engine(which see). Hot-air Fur′nace. One in which air is heated for warming houses, or for purposes of drying, usually the former. The arrangements are various, but a common kind is a form of stove in a brick chamber, the air coursing around the stove and among certain pipes and chambers in which circulate the volatile products of combustion.
