Abstract
It is apparent that if consumers are to be certain of a continuous supply of fuel throughout the year, a large part of the coal needed must be stored during the spring and summer months. To the householder, the storage of a year's supply of coal does not ordinarily present any difficulties, but the losses which may take place in large quantities of stored soft coal must be considered by the users of large amounts. These losses are due to (1) loss of heating value on account of oxidation of combustible portions of the coal; (2) slacking 01· breaking up of the coal into fine particles which in many cases cannot be burned efficiently; and (3) spontaneous combustion.
