To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The explosion at Peter Street, mentioned at page 18, was occasioned by the gas escaping with the lime-water, no sealing-tube being attached. The lime-water may be mixed in a cistern (having its bottom above the level of the water in the purifier when filled, and furnished with an agitator worked by hand), and drawn off by a hose into any of the machines, care being taken to keep the mixture well agitated while passing. The proportions are one measure of paste-lime to three of water ; that is, t...o every five bushels of paste- lime about 120 gallons of water must be added. The size of the lime-machines ought to be so regulated that they will contain sufficient lime-water to purify the quantity of gas made in twenty-four hours, without having occasion to fill them higher than the water-line shown in the engraving. Four lime-machines are necessary, two being in action and two out, alter- nately. When that machine is spent through which the gas first passes, shut it off, and open a third, leaving the second to perform the duties of the first, and so on.
