In order to avoid the waste spaces between the reciprocatingpiston of au air compressor and the cylinder covers whenit reaches the end of the stroke, the patentees allow thepiston to come in contact with the end covers. In order toaccomplish this without danger of breakage they construct 994 THE JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY OF CHEMICAL INDUSTRY.

The object of this invention is to avoid the great loss of heat from drying stoves when the products of combustion and the hot air are allowed to escape directly into the atmosphere, and to effect a gradual cooling of the goods under treatment. The air for drying the goods passes through pipes orchannels arranged in a closed furnace chamber. The airthus heated having been led through the drying chamber isbrought back to the closed furnace, where it effects combus-tion of the fuel. The products of combustion are notconducted directly to the chimney, but are passed throughthe heating tubes of a second apparatus, to which it gives upportion
