Magazine Feed

a hours coal supply. which saoes con-
tu,ual shouelins. The Spencer is the
only heater with successful magazine
feed owing to its water-jacketing and
raised CRATES. The water-jacketing pre-
vents the coal from being over-heated and
the raised CRATES give an even depth
of fire, thus even combustion over the
whole 6re-pot, and also allows the coal to
feed from the magazine as it burns.
