RECOMMENDATIONS.
Since completing their visits, the Committee have held several meeting and have given
??? consideration to the various plan prepared by the surveyor, and they submit the
??? two plans to the Vestry:-
Plan A .- Showing a two-cell Destructor with boiler arranged upon the
??? & ??? “principle as at work in Wark in Warrington and in course of construction at Leyton;
the boiler arranged so that either or both could be used, but both cells would be in operation
as one time although they are charged alternately, so as to insure a uniform temperature in
the ??? chamber. The gases could also be sent to the chimney without passimg
through the boiler, and the boiler are provided with anxiliary firing arrangements.
Plan B,-Showing a four cell Destructor with a boiler placed between each pair of cells,
arranged upon the “Wood & Brodie” system as at work in Cambridge. Each pair of cells and
one boiler can be worked independentlyof the other, or gases can be discharged direct into
the main fine or the boiler fired with coal independent of the Destructor fires.
The committee are of opinion that good results can be obtained from either principle,
ton that plan B is the better and moer suitable for this parish, and they recommend it for
for the Destroctor now in course of crection at Lewisham, and that it may shortly be exepected
??? that it should be ??? at work. They therefore recommend that futher action be
??? until they have had an opportunity of inspecting it at work.
