Description: |
"My improvement consists in reducing anthracite to a coarse powder of screenings and mixing or mingling it either by hand or machinery with such portions of clay and water as may be requisite to bring the mass or aggregate to a consistence that may be readily made into balls or be taken up by hand or machinery in portions of any shape or size. When these clay coals are dried they can be used as fuel in the manner that coke or charcoal are commonly used in the reduction of iron ores..." |
