Abstract
THE results obtained by Payman and Wheeler1 for speed of propagation of flame in mixtures of carbon monoxide with oxygen contradict those obtained by Bone2. According to Payman and Wheeler, the speed is a maximum for the stoichiometric mixture, whilst according to Bone there are two maxima in the speed curve, one at 75 per cent carbon monoxide which is sharply defined and another, less sharply defined, for the stoichiometric mixture.
