The oljject of the investigation of which this book is a recordwas to determine the conditions governing the processes ofcombustion in the fuel bed of a hand-fired furnace, to furnishdata for the correct design of coal-burning grates and fur-naces and their efficient operation. The results also castlight on the problem of clinker troulile as related to fusibiltiyof ash and indicate the possibility of a higher rate of gasifica-tion of coal in gas producers. The report contains general information on the combustionof coal in furnaces and describes the results of numeroustests made in an experimental hand-fired furnace which wasdesigned for an accurate study of the processes of combus-tion in the fuel WITHIN recent years quantity production of locomo-tive and car repair parts at a central point fordistribution over the system, has received moreand more consideration as an effective means of combatingincreasing maintenance costs. Several large railroad sys-tems have installed manufacturing departments in conjunc-tion with the larger repair shops, in which are made manyparts susceptible to partial or complete standardized finish-ing. This system manufacturing, or centralized production,as it may better be called, has been and should be much moreeffective in reducing the cost of many articles, ;ie which are required in considerable quantities. The success of the modern manufacturing industry de-pends largely upon organization, specialized division of la-bor, and adequate facilities. While the problem of central-ized production cannot be applied to car and locomotive re-pairs on the same scale as in a manufacturing plant its suc-cessful
