Hay, A G

This paper is the second published report on the continuing successful elaboration and embodiment of an entirely new patented machine concept for the continuous movement and accurately delivery of all sorts of particulate solids, wet or dry, into environments of ambient or differential fluid or mechanical pressure. It includes the first disclosure of the successful continuous, direct delivery of US power plant coal into 26 psi of gas pressure, which is itself an important milestone in a project for the continuing development of the system for very high pressure metered injection of solids. We call the device a Rock Pump.'' More finally, it is the Firth Solids Pump System, after the inventor.
