CONSUMPTION OF GAS, IN PROPORTION TO WORK DONE, AND LESS THAN WITH ANY OTHER ENGINE. CAUTION TO BUYERS. Much misunderstanding and misapprehension arises among buyers of Gas Engines .wing to Se misleading use made by many makers of the indicated horse power. Some while stating the power and consumption relating to the indicated power, supSnrthat word and leaving it to be inferred, if not actually suggesting that it is the BRAKE Or ACTUAL HORSE POWER, i.e., THE POWER THAT THE BUYER MAY TAKE FROM THE engine UnquesSnably the unfamiliarity of the users of Gas Engines with the proper Sficknce ofthese terms has been traded upon in the past, few makers even referring to the Actual Horse Power developed by their Engines. In .very instance be careful to have the special kind of Power thatl isl dealt ,„-n, fwn OBTAIN THE DIAMETER OF CYLINDER, LENGTH SfsTROKE, SPEEDED 1 WEIGHTED COMPARE WITH TANGYE'S ENGINE. \ A 5 Nominal Horse Power (BY* Actual, Indicating tO# H.P.)
