Advantage of Gas Holders
Gasholders hold a large advantage over other methods of storage. They are the only storage method which keeps the gas at district pressure (the pressure required in local gas mains). Once the District Low Pressure Switch falls, and the booster fans come on, the gas in these holders can be at homes, being used, in a very short space of time. Gas is stored in the holder throughout the day, when little gas is being used. At about 5 pm there is a great demand for gas and the holder will come down, supplying the district.

Comrades mine and I in the midst, and their memory ever to keep, for the dead I loved so well,

Lilac and star and bird twined with the chant of my soul,
There in the fragrant pines and the cedars dusk and dim.”
