COAL SHED EXTENSION.
Enlarsements in Improvements at
Plant Of Purinton Bros.

The Purinton Bros. Co., coal dealers,
have just put in operation this week
their new apparatus for sitting and
loading coal. work on which has been
in progress for some time.
An addition 80x20 feet was first built
onto the southern side of the stove coal
shed, making the dimensions of that
shed l21xS0 feet and giving it a capa-
city of $500 tons. A scraper was next
installed. running lengthwise OF the
shed, operated by winches, the power
being furnished by a 1O-horse power
electric Rotor. By this means every
bit Of coal that is in the shed may be
scrdped, as it is needed, to the parts at
the southern side of the building. The
scraper has a capacity of 500 pounds,
and may be operated fast enough to
deliver so tons an hour at the ports
if necessary. There are eight
ports opening into scuttles on the out
side of the shed. the walls Of the saed
sloling inward in order that there may
be sufficient pressure to drive the coal
out through the ports when they are
opened. A weight keeps them closed.
The bottom of each outside scuttle is
screened. When it is desired to load
Il coal wagon, 1t is backed up directly
beneath the scuttle. The port is opened
by pulling a rope and the stream Of
coal flows over the screen and falls
into the wagon. Fine coal drops through
the screen into a special compartment
in the coal shed, only the full size coal
falling into the wagon When ton,
or half ton, as the case may be, has
been loaded. the rope is released and
the weight closes the port. In this
manner wagon may be loaded in five
minutes, whereas 15 minutes We're re-
Guired to load wagon under the Old
method. The apparatus is at present
working only in the stove coal sned.
In an adjoining shed, egg and chestnut
coal will be delivered in similar man
rer, a separate scraper being used. but
the same electric motor operating both.
Two screens will deliver egg coal and
two will pour ont chestnut coal. This
shed is 125 it x40 it,, and it's capacity is
25O0 tons. The new method will expe
dile matters considerably in the deliv
cry of coal. The apparatus was III
stalled by Mahoney Bros. of Boston.
