The tubes burn continuously and are reâ€" placed every three months: _ Small storage batteries are used to furnish the energy necessary for operating the timing and firing mechanism. The tanks of acetylene gas and the storâ€" age batteries are replaced or rechargâ€" ed at definite intervals.

The explosions when once started, repeat at definite intervals until stopped.
