Excerpt from Proceedings, 1870

Another direction in which the writer believes highly heated blast will be beneficial is in the anthracite blast furnace; and increased temperature of blast appears indeed to be the only probable means of overcoming the difficulties attending the use of that fuel. A highly heated blast would prevent the possibility of an ignited piece of coal becoming extinguished, so to speak, by a cooler blast; for the combustion of this dense coal being only superficial, unlike that of porous coke, it cannot be revived without great trouble and loss, if once the temperature sinks below that at which chemical action takes place.
