Condenser with self-contained fan and counter-shaft has a capacity of 10,000 to pounds per day. Theself-contained fan is simply for the purpose of exhaustingthe air from the condenser. A separate No. 6 fan with coun-tershaft is required for drawing the cotton from the openingroom in the warehouse and blowing it into the condenser. The Amoskeag Condenser has no self-contained fan andrequires no countershaft. Two separate No. 6 fans withcountershafts are required; one to convey the stock from thewarehouse and blow it into the condenser, and the other toexhaust the air from it. Roughly speaking, this con-denser has a capacity of 20,000 to 25,000 pounds per day. Atlanta, Ga., STUART W, CRAMER, Charlotte, N, C, Kit
