To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The gas so produced contains about 32 to 38 per cent, of combustible gas. The mixed gases pass into the retort furnace at a high temperature, and there meet with a second air supply in order to complete their combustion, the latter air being heated by having to pass around the exit flue, which carries off the hot products of combustion. With this system of heating the retorts a considerable saving of fuel, amounting to about one-third, is gained over the direct firing, and the retorts can be he...ated to a higher temperature, whilst the distribution of heat is more even. 150 LIQUID AND GASEOUS FUELS. A great improvement and saving in the retort house has been introduced during the last twenty-five years by labour- saving machinery. The charging and discharging of the retorts by hand has always been laborious and expensive, but now it is only to be found in small gas works, charging and discharging by machinery having taken its place. The machines for this purpose are driven either by com- pressed air, hydraulic, or electric power, and have effected a saving averaging fifteen pence per ton of coal carbonised.
