THE COLLIERY GUARDIAN. 1007 November 13, 1914. ______________________ ____ _________________________________ A Serious Word It is well known that one of the chief objections to the use of Machine Stoking in Collieries is the difficulty of burning the large stony stuff usually offered to it for consumption. The results, generally speaking, are unsatisfactory and great damage is often caused to the stokers. Our Special Colliery Hand-Fired Furnace has been specially designed to meet cases of this sort. An illustrated descriptive booklet on the subject has been prepared, and if you have not yet received a copy, please write to-day for Pamphlet C 1032. We shall send it with pleasure. Ed. Bennis & Co. Ltd., Little Hulton, Bolton, and 28, Victoria Street, S.W. ___________________________ The “EXHALL” OVERWIND PREVENTER (Jackson & Staley’s Patent).
