Smoke Control by Wrist Twist Demonstrated in Columbus
E R Kaiser assistant director of bituminous coal research explains a wrist twist device that controls locomotive smoke. In a Union Station demonstration five steam engines produced dense smoke that cleared to a light tan haze as the over fire steam jet was used. The device developed by Richard B Engdahl of Battelle Memorial Institute injects steam over coal to boost burning and emits carbon dioxide and water vapor. Over 200 municipal officials and engineers attended.
