Thetemperatures were measured only approximately with a Haskin TESTS FOR COMBUSTION IN FUEL BED. 13 thermocouple inserted through the sampling holes into the fuel the temperature reached 1,000° C, the couple was pulled outto save it from destruction. In all such instances the temperature isstated as being above 1,000° C. The pressure of the air passingthrough the fuel bed was determined with a U-tube draft gage. For these tests the natural lignite was broken and sized, and thepieces that passed through a 2-inch and over a £-inch square-meshscreen were used. NOTES ON TESTS WITH LIGNITE. With rates of combustion of 3 and 0 pounds per square foot ofgrate per hour, the surface of the fuel bed was almost entirely flames were 6 to 12 inches long, were yellow, and not sooty.
