Sugg`s London Argand burner of 1869

Sugg’s London Argand burner of 1869
This model was first prescribed by the Metropolitan Gas Referees for London
as the Standard Burner to be used for testing the gas supplied to the Metropolis,
being used with a fixed gas consumption rate of 5 cubic feet per hour.
This remained the standard test until 1900 when a test based on the
luminosity of the burner was adopted.
