The experience the Centralia Plant has had with the mobile conveyor/mobile reclaimer system indicates that while the system was installed to help solve the serious handling problems of this particular coal, it has proved to be a productive and cost-effective method of filling the basic need to stockpile and reclaim dead storage. As a first-of-a-kind system, experience to date has been particularly good, as the ''bottom line'' indicates. Subsequent installations should be even better as they will be built on our experience. In reading and hearing about the industry's problems with capital, productivity, environmental constraints, etc., it is encouraging to think that these efforts may have led to a significant plant improvement that promises to be of benefit in all areas.
