We printed in the last issue of The Locomotive an article whichexplained in detail the process of burning fuel. It is of no serviceto study combustion if we cannot apply the knowledge to the actualimprovement of the performance of our boiler furnaces. At the present time, owing to the congestion of our railroadsand the need of diverting all available material to war needs, itis absurd to advise remodeling existing equipment in most problem of the moment is the production of the most powerwith existing equipment, from the least amount possible of what-ever sort of fuel may be had, without much regard for whetherthat kind or grade of fuel fits our furnace conditions or not. This situation is not quite so hopeless as it seems. The under-lying principles of combustion govern what will happen when weattempt to burn any grade of fuel in a furnace, and a knowledgeof them should help us to discove
