Abstract
AS chief engineer of the Manchester Steam Users' Association Mr. C. E. Stromeyer prepares a yearly memorandum. The memorandum for the year 1918–19 deals, with fuel economy and with economiser and furnace collapses. Some industries require much power and little steam for. heating and boiling; others much steam and little power. If two such industries could combine, the cost of 1 h.p. could be reduced from, say, 2 lb. of coal to 1/3 lh. If, for instance, a spinning mill consumes 20 tons of coal for power alone, and a sugar factory an equal quantity of coal for boiling purposes, some means ought surely to be found to bring them together, and thus satisfy both demands with a consumption of 23 tons instead of 40 tons.
