Abstract
TECHNICAL problems of the utilisation of fuel have long been a popular subject of discussion, but the troubles of the coal trade have recently evoked an unusual number of contributions. Sir Harold Hartley, in a paper before the Institution of Chemical Engineers, examined our “National Coal Resources”, Sir Frank Smith discussed “Coal, Power and Smoke” before the Junior Institution of Engineers, Sir William Larke addressed the Fuel Luncheon Club, an anonymous “Observer” has recently issued a pamphlet on “Miners, Owners and Mysteries”, and Mr. 0. W. Roskill discussed before the Institute of Fuel the “Co-ordination of National Fuel and Power Supplies”, while chairmen of public utility companies have much to say about coal when addressing their shareholders at this season. The reader will find considerable repetition in these discussions, but cannot escape the impression of the extreme complexity of the problems.
