POWDERED COAL FOR

ADMIRALTY AND THE PROPOSED TESTS."
Following the announcement in the Morning Post on October 31st that H.M.S. Maidstone is to be converted to burn powdered coal, an official statement on the subject was issued by the Secretary of the Admiralty.
The Admiralty, it is stated, is fully aware of the importance to the country of the use of this fuel, but holds that, so far as the special requirements of warships are com- cerned, "there is little probability that pulverised fuel will ever be able to replace oil fuel"
The Admiralty, it is added, has expressed its willingness to lead H.M.S. Hollyhock to the Depart- ment of Industrial Scientific Re search for experimental purposes, and recently, in response to ``an. application from the Brand Pow dered Fuel System, Limited, offer- ed this company also the loan of surplus ship, H.M.8. Maidstone, which was originally designed as a coal-burning merchant verse).

and efficiently is of great im portance.
Hence the encouragement given by the Admiralty to those concerned in developing new methods of using
coal.
Both the Hollyhock and the Maidstone are old ships, which are being prepared for the sala list, but they are admirably suited for the purposes in view. Both were built
as coal-burning ships, and have many years of service behind them during which careful records of their performance have been kept.
These records will be available for comparison with their performance with the new methods of burning coal, and probably convincing data at to the efficiency of powdered fuel will result from the forthcoming
trials.
