Excerpt from The Automobile Hand-Book: A Work of Practical Information for the Use of Owners, Operators and Automobile Mechanics Acetylene. A number of inconveniences are attached to the use of acetylene. The problem of properly purifying it has yet to be solved. Metallic compounds of sulphur, phosphorus and nitrogen and free carbon are contained in the carbide, and the gas has in it many impurities which endanger health when burned in closed rooms. The free carbon in the carbide gets into the burners in the form of fine dust and obstructs them. A great annoyance is smoking of the lamps, which takes place after two or three hours burning. This is due to decomposition of the acetylene by the heated burner, by which carbon is deposited in the narrow opening. Many of the so-called spontaneous explosions of this gas have without doubt been caused by high tempera ture in the generator-see also Gas Lamps. Acid Solutions. The electrolyte, or solution used in storage battery cells, is made by pouring sulphuric acid into distilled water until the specific gravity becomes The solution becomes extremely warm and should not be used until its temperature is about 60 degrees.
