Excerpt from The Journal of Gas Lighting, Water Supply, Etc, Vol. 110: April to June, 1910 Mr. John West has always maintained to be the best to assist in obtaining good carbonizing results - his lengthy experience of coal carbonization asserting the view that the coal should be lightly laid and in a regular layer throughout the length of the retort. It is also to be noted that the charge of coal laid by the machine is so invariably uniform that the removal of the resultant coke is facilitated.

Excerpt from The Journal of Gas Lighting, Water Supply, Etc, Vol. 109: January to March, 1910 The figures and lessons are so many in the report, that we must leave them with an expression of these few broad conclusions. But Mr. Hazzard's own conclusions are those that immediately concern the supplies of gas in the State of New York; and two of his recommendations in a measure Show that Mr. Hazzard rather inclines to the setting up of a dual standard, which we protest would be most unfair, and altogether unnecessary. The estimate in the report, founded on collected data, is that the volume of the distributed gas used for heating, power, and incandesc_ent lighting is quite 80 per cent.; and only the remaining 20 per cent. Is of importance for its luminosity direct. Therefore, concludes Mr. Hazzard, unless and until the amount of gas supplied used in open- ame burners becomes diminished consider ably below its present proportion of the total gas con sumed, it is desirable that the existing photometrical standards be maintained; and further down that by reason of the large class of consumers to whom the value of gas as a generator of heat is a matter of primal import ance, it is desirable that the calorific power of gas be standardized by the introduction of appropriate tests. These recommendations, as they stand, are not in any way qualified but among the questions he submits for considera tion is this one: Shall such [calorific power] standard be enforced supplemental to the illuminating standard now in use? The answer on the relative volume figures given above is in the negative. Why, we may ask, is 20 per cent. Of the gas still used for luminous purposes? The answer is because of the unnecessary maintenance of a high illuminating power for the gas. It is an encourage ment to people to neglect the advantage that scientific im provement holds out for their acceptance; and it protracts the diminution of the already comparatively small volume of gas used for its illuminating power. If, when only 20 per cent. Of the gas is employed for its luminosity, it is proposed to continue the illuminating power test, how was it that, when only 20 per cent. Of the gas was used for its heating value, a calorific test was not then imposed P It has always hitherto been recognized - and it should continue to be - that the standard and test should follow the major use. If protection is needed, it should be accorded to the consumers of the four-fifths of the volume of gas distributed, and not to the laggards who seem to do all they can to avoid the path of illuminating progress.

Excerpt from The Journal of Gas Lighting, Water Supply, Etc, Vol. 111: July to September, 1910 Better trade has led to an increased consumption at Ossett but the growth has been checked by the more general use of incan descent burners.
