March 28, 1918. THE COLLIERY GUARDIAN. [supplement PAGE XI.] Coal Saving For Collieries. On Taking Measurements. Coal can be saved by more efficient methods of steam generation, but first it is necessary to find out what is the performance of the boiler-plant, —that is to say, to test it, to take measurements. Except in few rare cases, Colliery boiler-plants are not being run on the lines of exact measurements, and this is one of the reasons we can reduce the coal bill of the average Colliery plant 20—40 Z- We are ready to make a complete investigation of the working of any Colliery boiler-plant, including the determination of the amount of steam produced and the coal burnt, and the complete chemical . analysis of the coal, flue gases, and boiler-feed water and other data necessary, so as to arrive at the nett working efficiency. We are then prepared to carry out the reorganisation of the boiler-plant to obtain the maximum efficiency and to be paid entirely on results. We shall be glad to explain our proposition personally or by letter, and are prepared to visit your 'Colliery free of charge and give -you our opinion of the working ..of your boiler-plant. grmvulir & ihveen Xtd..
