AIR COMPRESSOR TANK
WENT THROUGH ROOF
Fortunate That No One Was Killed or
Injured, AS the Tank Made a Big
Hole in the Roof.

A large air compressor tank blew up
at Greatson & Lanes compressor plana
on Burnham's meadow yesterday and,
smashing a big hole in the roof Of the
building. went 30 feet in the air and
came down on the opposite side OF the
shed The bottom of the tank blew
off first and smashed big hole in the
floor and the rest Of the tank, which is
Ave feet long and 10 inches in diamet-
er. sailed up through the roof, with
such force that the plate and one ratter
were broken into pieces and hole three
feet square was made in the roof
Workmen who were IN the yard near
by. heard the explosion and then saw
the tank shoot up through the roof and
above the top of the shed, Fred Bene-
dict, an employe in the compressor room,
was standing not three feet from the
tank when ii exploded and. though he
was enveIoped in escaping team, from
broken steam pipes and flying debris,
was not injured.
The accident happened just after the
small compressor engine. which is used
to help out the large compressor, was
started up and it is thought that the
hot air entering the tank ignited gases,
which had formed in the tank from the
oil which gets into the tank. This Is
the only solution that Mr.. Lane can
give for the cause Of the explosion.
While looking over the scene OF the
explosion, The Times representative was
shown penny, balanced on edge, on
the top OF the large Bury compressor
while il was in operation, showing the
remarkable working OF the machinery
without the least trembling. This COM
pressor has capacity Of 5Sl feet.
