Subject: Re: how to stage mount two cylinders
Use a 40 of 50/50 and a 30 or 40 of oxygen.  Both of these should be
attached on the left as per usual, without extending the length of cord
to one or the other.  Second stage hoses should be about 40 inches.

Oh, and you may want to consider following rule # 1.

cylinder or, mount the lower cylinder directly on the upper.
