5. Simplicity And Reliability
A Gas Machine to be reliable must be simple, especially so if it is to be attended to by the gardener, or an ordinary laborer, as is so generally the case in lighting Country Residences. We call particular attention to this feature of the Imperial ; it is so simple that the smallest possible amount of intelligence is requisite in the person who has it in charge. After the Machine is placed and connected, ready for operation, no other attention is necessary than to wind up the weight occasionally and fill with Gasolene three or four times a year.
When the purchaser is within reasonable distance, we usually set the Machine ourselves, sending competent mechanics for that purpose. In cases where the distance is too great to send our own employees, we send printed instructions, by following which any competent gas-fitter or machinist can properly set the Machine.
Thousands of these Machines are now in use in all parts of the United States and other countries, lighting Public Buildings, Churches, Railroad Depots, Hotels, Mills, Factories, Residences, etc., ranging in capacity from 20 to 2,000 burners, and in every case giving perfect satisfaction.
