Of coal per horse power per hour, which is equivalent to a duty of more than 44 millions. Considerable allowances, however, must be made from this large amount of duty, as it is almost certain that the whole working power of the engines is estimated, and no distinction made between the power absorbed in overcoming friction and that producing useful effect. It is certain that the recorded performance of those engines does not represent the actual duty, as we have no instance of high pres- sure e...ngines anywhere, and, under any circumstances, working with a duty much exceeding twenty million pounds = 11 Ibs. Of coal per horse power per hour.
CONDENSING HIGH-PRESSURE ENGINES WORKING EXPANSIVELY.
