OIL FROM BRITISH COAL
EXHAUSTIVE TESTS 'British Official Wireless) RUGBY, 10th February. A contract for oil extracted from British coal, which has been placed with the Low Temperature Carbonisation Co., Ltd., by the Admiralty, is a sequel to exhaustive tests conducted partly in H.M.S. Westminster. It is understood tills destroyer was filled with British coal oil without undergoing any special preparation and burned nothing else for many weeks, with satisfactory results. The low temperature carbonisation process produces from every ton of coal about J of a ton of siem-coke, about 6000 cubic feet of gas, and 10 gallons of tar that can be converted into oil. The cheapest kind of coal is used in the process and there is a big demand for its by-products.
