A Victorian lecture extols gas using rough figures. Prof Carl ton J Lambert claims thirty seven cubic feet of gas valued at one penny yields about one pound of water when burned and about nineteen cubic feet of carbonic acid. He asserts it can heat water from sixty to one hundred ten degrees for a measured oath, boil eight gallons of Betties, and run a one horsepower gas engine for an hour. The gas allegedly moves eighty eight tons ten feet high in an hour, can melt iron, braze joints, ventilate rooms, produce pure air and strong lighting, and even cook a dinner for eight persons.
