The wood, which was all cut to the same length, and channelled out to admit the free passage of the air, was then duly placed in the stove, and set on fire; but the heat not passing very readily through all the sinuosities of the pipe, he ordered his head cook to screw on his exhauster.

In order to obviate this inconvenience (which exists notwithstanding the use of the best washers), exhausters are employed to draw the gas from the retorts and force it into the washers.

There is, however, another inconvenience which can only be remedied by the use of a second exhauster, viz., the loss of pressure after the passage of the gas through the washera loss resulting from the obstacle presented by this appliance to the steady flow of the gas.

The apparatus consequently supplies the place of the exhauster and the scrubber.

By the new system, the loss of pressure is nil, inasmuch as each turbine becomes in reality an exhauster.

It follows, therefore, that on leaving the vessel the gas will have a greater pressure than it had on entering it; and this increase of pressure may be augmented to any desired extent by altering the speed of rotation of the axis, precisely as in the case of an exhauster.

"Gas Stoker wanted for 11 million works, used to gas engine and exhauster; 50s.

In the circumstances the reference to "exhauster" seems superfluous.
