. i, •' Lamps. ! nn & S. MORR IN, IRONMONGERS \ AND IRON MERCHANTS,: AUCKLAND, Invite especial notice to their First [ ' Shipment of the SILBER'S PATENT LIGHT COM PANY'S LAMPS, j Ex Hindostan, from London, This Company having purchased the Patent Right from the Inventor, A. M. SI LEER, Esq., (■FOR £40,000. THE GREATEST DISCOVERY AND ' MOST COMPLETE SUCCESS EVER I KNOWN Has been attained by A. M. Silber, Esq., of London, who has invented (after three years' careful experi ments) a new style of Lamp having the following and many other advantages over any Lamp in existence, viz:— , , ; The light showing as near as possible ; perfect combustion ; consuming every portion of the oil; does not throw off any offennive odour at anytime like ordinary Kerosene Lamps. Consumes the oil most economically, and gives a white, brilliant, and steady light. . _ * -* Perfect safety from EXPLOSION, as the body of the oil, being separated by an air jacket-which surrounds the wick case, and connected only by a tube -which does not allow the flame to communicate with the body of the oil, natu rally keeps the oil cool, and "explosions" are hereby prevented—this fact alone proving an immense advantage and security over all others. '...■■: They ure adaptable for all purposes of illumination where gas is now employed, whether in private houses, public buildings, factories, railway stations, railway carriages, ships' lights, signal stations, type-setting rooms, street lights, &c. AT ONE-FIFTH LESS THAN THI! ''■ COST OF GAS. To show the high standing these lamps have gained in the English market we are furnished with extracts from the London Times, Mining Journal, Lancet, 4c, all of which testify to their SUPERIORITY OVER ANYTHING HITHERTO INVENTED. A L And, as a further proof; we may state the following companies have substituted these Lamps in: prefer ence to those previously in use,' viz :-Metropolitan, Great Eastern, Great Western, South Eastern. London and Brighton, London, Chatham and Dover, and North London Rallwayß; thelnnlan,' Cuhard, and Pacific Lines of Steamers; also, the Light-house Lamp "or the Liverpool and Mersey Dock Company, as well as Signal Lamps for. various railways, andL. have largely supplied Street and Lamps for the East and West Indies. In a recent letter received by the Patentee' >ronr W. Valentin, Esq., F.C.S.. Principal Demonstrator of Practical Chemistry, in the Royal CoU^geyof Chemistry, London, he remark*, "That the SILBER LIGHT produced by the irarnttrs constructed: on. these new principles is whiter and steadier tiffinLanjr light I am acquainted with, and the increase In tjhe, iUuminating power, as compared *ith that from ordinary burners hitherto in use, is-fully equal to from 40 to 60 per cent, without ajiy, increased.con sump tioc of oil My experiments, which wiU be found in detail in the " Journal of the Society of Arts of December 23, 1872, show that a light: can be pro duced from mineral oils from FORTY to FIFTY PER OelnT cheaper than the same light from; coil gas, costing THREE SHILLINGS and NINEPENCE.per_ 1,000 cubic feet" The testimonials received by Mr Silber are very numerous, and al express surprise and admiration at the immense -success he has obtained, and any one desirous of perusing the same we shall be most happy to furnish with those in our possession.
