Section 26. Procedure for making and publication of rules

(7) All powers to make rules conferred by this Act may be exercised from time to time as occasion requires. --- THE SCHEDULE. I.—Nature of the Test-apparatus. The apparatus consists of the following parts:— (2) The publication shall be made in such manner as the Governor General in Council, from time to time, by notification in the Gazette of India, prescribes. (6) The publication in the Gazette of a rule purporting to be made under this Act shall be conclusive proof that it has been duly made. (4) The authority making the rules shall receive and consider any objection or suggestion which may be made by any person with respect to the draft before the date so specified. (5) A rule made under this Act shall not take effect if it is made by the Governor General in Council until it has been published in the Gazette of India, and if it is made by the Local Government until it has been published in the local official Gazette. (3) There shall be published with the draft a notice specifying a date at or after which the draft will be taken into consideration. (8) the dropping bottle or pipette for replenishing the test-lamp; and (1) the oil-cup; 26. Procedure for making and publication of rules. THE SCHEDULE. 1886.] Petroleum. 137 ACT No. XII of 1886. PASSED BY THE GOVERNOR GENERAL OF INDIA IN COUNCIL. (Received the assent of the Governor General on the 12th March, 1886.) (9) a barometer standardised at the Meteorological Office of the province or at any other place appointed by the Local Government. The oil-cup is a cylindrical flat-bottomed vessel, made of gun-metal or brass, and tinned or silvered inside. A gauge is fixed to the inside of the cup to regulate the height to which it is to be filled with the sample under examination. The cup is provided with a close fitting overlapping cover, which carries the thermometer, the test-lamp and the adjuncts thereto. The test-lamp is suspended upon two supports by means of trunnions, which allow it to be easily inclined to a particular angle and restored to its original position. The socket in the cover, which is to hold a round bulb thermometer for indicating the temperature of the oil during the testing operation, is so adjusted that the bulb of the latter is always inserted in a definite position below the surface of the liquid. 26. (1) An authority making rules under this Act shall, before making the rules, publish a draft of the proposed rules for the information of persons likely to be affected thereby. (2) the cover, with slide, test-lamp; and clockwork arrangement for opening and closing the holes in the cover and for dipping the test-flame; (6) the thermometer for indicating the temperature of the water in the water-bath; The cover is provided with three holes, one in the centre and two smaller ones close to the sides. These are closed and opened by means of a pivoted slide. When the slide is moved so as to uncover the holes, the suspended lamp is caught by a projection fixed on the slide, and tilted in such a way as to bring the end of the spout just below the surface of the lid. As the slide moves back so as to cover the holes, the lamp returns to its original position. Upon the cover, in front of and in a line with the nozzle of the lamp, is fixed a white bead, the diameter of which represents the size of the test-flame to be used. The water-bath or heating vessel is so constructed that, when the oil-cup is placed in position in it, an air-space or air-chamber intervenes between the two; consequently, in applying the test under ordinary circumstances, the heat is transmitted gradually to the oil from the hot water through the air-space. The water-bath is fitted with a socket for receiving a long bulb thermometer, to 150 Petroleum. [ACT XII (The Schedule.)] to indicate the temperature of the water. It is also provided with a funnel, an overflow-pipe and two handles. The water-bath rests upon a tripod stand, which is fitted with a copper cylinder or jacket, so that the bath is surrounded by an enclosed air-space, which retains and regulates the heat. One of the legs of the stand serves as a support for a spirit-lamp, which is attached to it by a small swing bracket. (5) the thermometer for indicating the temperature of the oil in the oil-cup; (7) the thermometer for indicating the temperature of the oil before it is poured into the oil-cup; (4) the 1886.] Petroleum. 149 (The Schedule.) (3) the water-bath or heating vessel; (4) the tripod stand, with jacket and spirit-lamp for heating the water-bath; The clockwork arrangement, by which during the operation of testing the slide is withdrawn, and the test-flame dipped into the cup and raised again as the slide is replaced, is provided with a ratchet key for setting it in action for each test, and with a trigger for starting it each time that the test-flame is applied.
