Coal is taken from the bunker and distributed to thestokers by the Beaumont Larry. Ashes are brought to the ash skip hoist by an ashcar or train of cars. Only a few days run of coal is kept in the bunker,reserve coal is stored on the ground and reclaimedwhen required by the Beaumont Cable Drag is thus reduced to its simplest form, theequipment consisting only of a few self-containedmassive units. In moderate size boiler houses, twowinding machines are used, placed side by side in aclean, well lighted, accessible room in the coal house;one for the skip hoist and one for the drag scraper. The advantages claimed for this system are asfollows: I Advantages ofi the BeaumontI Super-Central reducing the cost. I 1—Lowest First Cost—AI bunker where all coal and ashesI are concentrated at one spot isI the most economical to build. ,J The usual distributing con-veyor is eliminated, thus furtherOn account of concentration and. 2—Lowest Maintenance Expense—Because the ma-chinery is reduced to a minimum, and that used is ofrugged design. Having no distributing conveyor re-duces maintenance charges. 3—^Lowest Power Consumption—Because distribut-ing conveyor is eliminated, and this (when used) con-sumes more power than the elevator. 4—Ease of Construction—Since all work is doneoutside the boiler house, there is no interference withthe men operating in the case of existing boiler houses,and in new boiler houses with the men erecting thebuilding, boilers, stokers, piping, etc. This meansthat not only the coal and ash handling system, but theboiler house and all equipment in the boiler housewill be erected at less cost. 5—Simplest Type Building—May be built (in caseof new boiler house) consisting riierely of four wallsand roof of
