The gasogene and cigars are in the old place.

A special form was the gasogene.

The gasogene (or seltzogene) was a late Victorian device for producing carbonated water.

Some shop-keepers used vans running on gasogene to transport supplies, but the engines were weak.

Wood gas generators, called Gasogene or Gazogène, were used to power motor vehicles in Europe.

The gasogene features as a cryptic residential fixture at 221B Baker Street in Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories.

With hardly a word spoken, but with a kindly eye, he waved me to an armchair, threw across his case of cigars, and indicated a spirit case and a gasogene in the corner.

"As we move further and further away from the period in which the Holmes stories were set, the country in which they are located becomes increasingly foreign, and Klinger's annotations become a sort of guidebook to the territory, if only to learn what a gasogene is."

As the war progressed, Panhard found it prudent to transfer production to their site at Tarbes in the extreme southwest, and a gazogene powered version of the Dynamic was produced albeit only in small numbers.
