Description
At the Lebanon Works of the same Company is a similar installation at work for two batteries of 232 ovens, for which also two of each four receptacles are in use. In these installations the appearance of the coke is of less importance, but the loading apparatus of Moore, Philadelphia, effects the quenching and handling of the coke in a more careful manner, the air being excluded, and a silvery coke, resembling that from beehive ovens, is obtained. The device consists of an iron chamber as large as a coke oven, which is mounted on a travelling carriage operated by electricity (see Figure).
