About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1900 edition. Excerpt: ...are located in connection with the furnace of the Dunbar Furnace Company, at Dunbar, Fayette county. These are by-product ovens. They were erected in 1895 and have been operated without a month of idleness since their completion.

The by-product oven, it is true, does not need repairs as often as the ordinary bee-hive oven, but in case of a slack trade the patent oven cannot be allowed to go idle without much damage. The intricate pipes and tubes necessary for the collection of gases and byproducts cannot be permitted to stand cold and rusting, while the old type of oven can be covered with a few boards, sealed up and allowed to remain idle for years without material deterioration. ust what the danger of having every oven in the Connellsville region of the by-product pattern would be can be understood from the several strikes in the district, when almost every plant was compelled to stand idle for as long as six and eight months at a time. Even more pronounced instances may be cited. Donnelly works of the McClure Coke Company were fired up in February, I899, after having been idle...
