Excerpt from Report on the Operations of the Coal-Testing Plant of the United States Geological Survey, at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, St. Louis, Mo., 1904, Vol. 3: Producer-Gas, Coking, Briquetting, and Washing Tests The plant installed is a Taylor pressure gas producer, furnished by R. D. Wood Co., of Philadelphia. It is known as a 250-horsepower producer-gas power plant. Pl. VIII shows the general arrangement of the plant. The boiler house, directly in the rear, was erected in connection with the boiler and steam-engine trials and is not directly connected with the producer-gas plant. At the extreme right in the view is the gas-engine room. The exhaust pipe of the gas engine is seen projecting through the roof. In figs. 104 and 105 are shown the plans and elevations of the different units of the plant, as well as the general dimensions.
