New York. People who scheme to extract the workingman's last ounce of energy may read with profit a paper on "Power Plant Efficiency," by Victor J. Azbe, before the convention of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, in which it is estimated that $324,000,000 of coal is wasted every year, besides natural gas and crude oil.
It was stated that from 10 to 20 per cent of the fuel consumption could be saved without additional investment by more efficient operation.
"The same people," says Mr. Azbe, "would strive for an extra mile or two per gallon of gasoline with their automobile, and are wasting 30 per cent or more of the coal burned in their factories."
