UTILIZING THE LAST HEAT UNIT
So long ago as 1885, IN England, Mr.. Edward Green
made his earliest experiment with attachment
which is considered Indispensable to steam
power plant, its purpose being 10 utilize the sur
plus escaping from the boilers. The high cost
Of fuel in New England led Thomas Saunders, OF
Providence r. l.. TO utilize this attachment in his
print works. This may be considered It's first In
PRODUCTION here. He had seen this machine ex-
hibted the Centennial. and bought IT. So great
a saving had he discovered in this attachment that
when he moved his works to Saundersdale, in
Southbridgc II the only portion OF his ma
chinery he took with him. That the value has
proved enduring is demonstrated by the fact that
he has twice added these machines his plant.
