The fuller's earth, previously weighed out in room e on the mezzanine floor over the tanks, is dropped into the oil in the tank C, which is covered during this opera- tion to prevent the spreading of the dust. After agitating for about half an hour, the batch is pumped through the filter press E and allowed to run back into tank Cby the sliding funnel until the cloths.

It is then run into tank F, which serves as a storage tank for the deodorizer. Up to this point each unit of the equipment has been large enough to handle a batch of about 25,000 pounds of oil. The deodorizer, however, is designed for only half of this quantity. In the first place the larger the batch of oil the longer it must be subjected to the deo- dorizing treatment. This treatment benefits an oil up to a certain point, but if it is continued beyond that point the oil deteriorates. The smaller installation also means a lower overhead in the nature of certain fixed charges. The distribution of labor among the several.
