April 19, 1918. THE COLLIERY GUARDIAN. [supplement PAGE XI.] 823 Coal Saving For Collieries. Efficiency. We have had many years experience in investigating the working of steam boiler-plants, and we find that the average nett working efficiency of Colliery steam boiler-plants to-day is only about 50 ... We can reorganise your boiler-plant and run it on an average efficiency of from say 60—75 7 depending on the conditions, that is, we can reduce your coal bill say 20—50 J if your plant is of average performance. We are so confident of being able to make this saving that we are prepared to carry out a complete reorganisation of your boiler-plant entirely at our own expense, and are willing to be paid •only by a proportion of the saving for a fixed period. 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.
