He said that the dust must be thick
enough In the air to take hre, mucn
rs gas. before an explosion would re-
suit. and that then II must be :gniteo
by fire before any combustion woniu
result.
In speaking OF the matter OF dust
explosions he made the statement tha'
they were as apt to occur in the sum-
mer as in the winter and that az far
as the seasons Of the year were con-
cerned they made little difference.
What Caused III
He was asked whether or NOT there
might be a possibility OF sparks nav
ing come from some OF the machinery
due 10 the fact that nail or some
other bit OF steel or iron should have
become mixed with the corn and gone
thru the grinders
The reply was that such might have
been the case as he had known OF TWO
feed mill explosions and one starch
mill explosion that occurred in that
manner. He also pointed out that ;:i's
was fast being eliminated as a cause
OF explosions by the use of bronze sur
faced grinders which would not spark.
