This motion is entirely automatic, but can be inter-rupted at any point, as above mentioned. In case of necessity this stoker can be disconnected and putout of the way and permit hand firing to be started in the usualmanner within a space of thirty seconds. The total weight ofthe stoker and conveyor is about 900 lbs. The work of develo
