February 4, 1916. THE COLLIERY GUARDIAN. 207 1916 The “Bennis” Hand-fired furnace shown above is specially designed for use in collieries and other places where machine firing is inapplicable. A special booklet has been printed on this subject which is full of interest for Colliery Managers. May we send you a copy — free ? TJ The opening of the year finds us still at war, and consequently still under the necessity of straining our resources to their utmost limits. The “ Bennis ” Machine Stoker is not only the quickest, cheapest and most efficient steam raiser on the market, but, combined with “ Bennis ” coal- handling equipment, is practically automatic in operation, thus obviating the difficulty caused by the depletion of labour supply.
