Supposing further, that the two benches in question were brought up to the required temperature, both being made equally hot, and that an equal charge of coal were put into the retorts in each, the firing of the furnaces being stopped simultaneously, will it be doubted for a moment which oven would longest continue to afford the required heat for efficient carbonization? It is a waste of power to argue as though the brickwork in a retort oven annihilated heat. On this subject Dr. Schilling, in his Traite cP Eclair age par le Gaz, remarks: "I cannot admit that the consolidation of retorts incurs any greater consumption of fuel. As the service is continuous, it appears to me quite indifferent whether a larger or smaller quantity of bricks has to be heated; the only advantages that would be attained by the absence of these sustaining bricks are the economy of their cost, and the labour in placing them, which are insignificant when compared to the durability of the retort." A happy medium may be attained if sought for. Clay retorts may vary in thickness from two and a half to three inches, according as they are made by hand or machine, and the chief point to be observed in their setting is to let the heat have free scope for circulating throughout the oven. With this object in mind, there should be none of that mistaken contraction of the nostrils leading out of the furnace.
