Fixed suns

are composed of a certain number of jets of fire distributed circularly, like the spokes of a wheel. All the fusees take fire at once through channels charged with quick matches. Glories are large suns with several rows of fusees. Fans are portions of a sun, being sectors of a circle. The Patte d’oie is a fan with only three jets. The mosaic represents a surface covered with diamond shaped compartments, formed at each point of intersection, four jets of fire, which run into the adjoining ones. The intervals between the jets must be a ociated with the discharge of others, so as to keep up a succe ion of fires in the spaces.
