The generator itself is quite automatic in action, and it is claimed that a greater percentage of gas is obtained from the earbide used than with many generators on the market, the reason being that a comparatively-dry gas is produced by using a minimum amount of water, the supply of the liquid being regulated by the pressure of the gas itself.

Two sizes of E.C.L. generator are made. No. 1 is suitablo for motorbuses, eleers-a-banes, mail vans, etc., and will generate 20 cubic ft. of gas and maintain the lighting of a motorbus for 28 hours.

No. 2 size is suitable for any type of goods-carrying vehicle, :old one sole generator and 10 cubic ft. of gas will maintain three lights for eight hours.

In particular, attention is directed to the company's latest type of C.A.Y. electric starter. This unit has been designed to keep the electrical discharge down well within the safe limits of the storage battery for momentary discharge, and by means of suitable reduction gear to utilize a high-speed motor. Consequently the equipment develops an immense starting effort without risk of damaging the battery.

A distinct feature of C.A.V. starters is that they can be fitted without alteration to either engine or chassis.
