Abstract
A combined welding and cutting outfit now being introduced by British Industrial Gases, Ltd., 700 Great Cambridge Road, Enfield, Middlesex, is claimed to give substantial economies in gas consumption. The welding torch, the ‘Economatic’ 50–2, is likely to prove of particular value in production work or wherever there is continual operation. After lighting in the normal way, the welding flame is obtained simply by pressing a thumb lever which, when released, reduces the flame to a minute pilot light. A non‐automatic version of the torch, Model 19‐GMC, is also available. A feature of this equipment is that simply by unscrewing the mixer assembly and replacing it with a cutting head, the blowpipe is converted to a cutting torch.
