Mr.. r. p. King, of the firm of
I&SHt King & Brossman, read a paper
on Smoke Prevention in which,
after reviewing various devices and
methods he reached the conclusion that
the mechanical stOker is the solution of
the smoke problem. He said, among other
things:
Smoke prevention is by TO means a new
subject The original smoke devices had i'm
view the idea OF great saving by using
the carbon lost in the smoke AS a matter
of fact this loss is less than 1 per cent:
probably one-third OF per cent. As early
as 1869 We have a record of a stove built
with a downward draft TO consume smoke
This was not suitable for furnaces. About
17s5 James Watt started the ball by patent
ing a smoke consumer. This device oper-
ated by admitting air through an opening in
front OF the furnace door. Ward Q792),
drew his smoke through water by means
OF a bellows; Losh divided his furnace into
two parts lengthways, firing each side al
ternately; Nevfl QSZ4) patented a fan fixed
in the fiue TO induce the draught; the
steam jet was patented in 1898; the DOWN
draught furnace with water CRATE in 1887:
double combustion about the same time:
the chain crate stoker in 1871. And so it
goes; there is nothing new under the sun.
