Excerpt from The Combustion of Fuel: With Special Reference to Smoke Prevention Much of the substance of the following pages was given in a lecture to the Association of Sanitary Inspectors, at the Carpenters' Hall, London, on March 4th, 1899. It was reproduced in The Mechanical Engineer immediately afterwards, with considerable additional matter. The whole has been collected, and is now presented complete for the first time. In a lecture it is impossible to attempt to describe all the different appliances for the promotion of combustion, so that there are many machines and other apparatus not mentioned. Those which were originally given are typical examples of existing practice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
