It is generally believed that varying pressures do not affect the working of the regulators; theoretically it would appear so, but practically it is otherwise, for instance, in testing 12 governors that were formerly in use in this Parish before the introduction of the average Meter system the following results were obtained:—

At 8/10th pressure.	At 15/10th pressure.

Page -

Again, in testing 33 governors after three months working, which before being fixed were tested and stamped by the Gas Company's officials as being correct, the following results were obtained:—

At 8/10th pressure.	At 15/10th pressure.

The following Table will illustrate in detail the varying quantities passed by 30 Governors at three different pressures. These Governors have been working for several months on the Metered Lamps —and before using were tested and stamped by the Gas Company's Officials as correct:—
