using the system. By 1886, over 200 Pintsch gas-lit buoys, beacons, lighthouses and lightships were operational, in North and South
America, Australia, and around the coasts of Europe, as well as on the Suez Canal. The automatic apparatus used in Pintsch gas beacons enabled them to be installed in

service: one eight-cubic-foot (0.23 m) tank of compressed gas in each carriage would provide for two Euston-to-Holyhead return journeys. Its use was then taken up by many other railway companies in
England. By 1888, some 23,500 railway carriages across Europe and the USA were lit on Pintsch's
