type OF Gates rolls. Is by 80 inches, be-
inS used In the coarser crushing. and
daily They take the product OF Blake

OF one-iuch size, which Is screened
out. was handled at the rate OF 400 tons

stalled took the entire product OF the
Blake crushers without any preliminary
screening and IL has treated m average

from these rolls is very much finer than
that of the old rolls in use. The coarser
above three -fouTths OF an inch.
The applied energy required es meas
ured and stated by the superintendent is
is-horsepower for tho corrugated rolls
