HE Firefly, an ultra-lightweight hand cutting blowpipe from the British Oxygen Co., Ltd., is now generally available. The new blowpipe weighs only 12 oz. and is said to be capable of cutting mild steel up to thick. Initially, nozzles will be available for use with acetylene, but the early introduction of a range of propane nozzles is also pl a nned.
The latest nozzle-mixing principles are used in the design of the blowpipe; the gases are fed to the nozzle through separate supply tubes, so that gas is safe and resistant to backfires.
The price of the Firefly complete with three nozzles and nozzle spanner in a plastic carrying case, is £7 2s. 6d.
