Tapered retorts had been introduced to facilitate the discharge of the carbonised fuel. It is important that the cross-section of the retort should be properly designed, so as to permit of the coal in the retort, during the process of coking, rising or expanding freely without jamming itself in the arch or crown of the retort, the cross section being preferably a flat base with the sides opening outwards before the curve of the retort is commenced. The author suggested the introduction of simpl...e mechanical means, worked from the upper end of the retorts, to assist in discharge, dealt with the manipulation of the slides or valves of measuring chambers and overhead hoppers, and laid before the meeting particulars of a small double-acting hydraulic cylinder which he had introduced at Edinburgh. He then referred to the simplifications in the structural ironwork of inclined retort installations, traversing screens for projecting the coke and tar clear of the mouthpieces, and the improvements that had recently been made in the construction of hot coke conveyors.
