Excerpt from Theory and Practice of Lead Burning by the Autogenous Process: With Full Instruction to the Amateur in the Details of the Machine and the Management of the Gases, With Valuable Suggestions and Directions for Practice

Lead Burning or the joining or uniting of separate pieces of sheet lead, or lead pipe, by the autogenous process, is beyond doubt of considerable antiquity.

In the year 1801, Robert Hare, M. D., Professor of Chemistry in the University of Pennsylvania, observed that a jet of hydrogen, when inflamed with atmospheric air - of which only one-fifth is oxygen - was productive of a heat of pre-eminent intensity; was led to infer that in combining with pure oxygen - the gas in question - a temperature at least five times as great ought to be produced.

Experiments made during late years by skillful scientists have shown that the heat produced by the combustion of pure hydrogen and oxygen gases, although much more intense, was not anything near five times as great as that produced by using the atmospheric air instead of pure oxygen.
