Leadley, J E

This patent describes a process of generating gas by superheating steam, then passing it down through a body of incandescent or highly heated fuel, resulting in the production of hydrogen, carbonic oxide, and a small percentage of carbonic acid. The process continues by passing these gases up through a separate body of heated fuel, thereby converting the carbonic acid into carbonic oxide and passing them through a charge of distilling soft coal for carrying off the rich gases therefrom, and finally converting them into a homogeneous fixed gas in a heated chamber.
