Excerpt from Steaming Tests of Coals and Related Investigations: September 1, 1904, to December 31, 1908To carry out these investigations the Director of the Geological Survey appointed a committee consisting of E. W. Parker, statistician of the Geological Survey, Joseph A. Holmes, State geologist of North Carolina, and Marius R. Campbell, a geologist of the Geological Survey.Under the first act authorizing this work all of the machinery and coal for the tests was to be furnished the Government free of charge. The buildings containing the testing apparatus were all paid for out of the first appropriation. After the close of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition every Congress made an appropriation for continuing these fuel tests. These subsequent appropriations permitted the purchase of appliances better adapted for the testing work.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
