To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The amount of heat rendered latent, and the slow passage of the heat through the coal, render the process of gas making under the usual system a slow one, and the charge usually remains in the retort from four to six hours. This prolonged heating is not necessary for the perfect gasification of coal, but it is inherent to the system of charging relatively large masses of coal at a time, and to the use of retorts of feebly-conducting material. The rapidity with which coal may be carbonized is pr...oved in the working of small experimental iron retorts, and of the revolving gas retort, where the mass in the retort is small enough to favour rapid diffusion of heat throughout it. In these two cases, also, it is not necessary to keep the heat far above that of the conversion of the hydrocarbons of the coal to stable gases, as no sudden and exhausting call is made on the heating arrangements by the in- sertion of a large mass of cold solid material at one time. Hence small retorts, and the revolving retort, may advantageously be of iron, which will withstand the heat they require, while its good-conducting powers are secured.
