Not illustrated. 1904 Excerpt: ...the design and economical working of such a plant. Reference will now be made to the principal types of destructors in use at the present day. In addition to Fryer's slow-combustion furnace already referred to, the following leading types must be mentioned, viz.: Warner's "Perfectus," Horsfall's, Beaman & Deas', Meldrum's "Simplex," Baker's, and the Heenan twin-cell destructor; also may be named Jones' Ealing model, Balls' destructor for small towns, Willoughby's, Mason's, and the " Sterling" destructor. Fryer's Destructor.--The general arrangement of Fryer's destructor (Manlove, Alliott & Fryer), as patented in 1876, is illustrated in Fig. 46, and has since formed the basis of many later designs. An improved destructor has been erected by Messrs. Manlove, Alliott & Co., at Cobbe Quarry, Liverpool; each cell consumes from twelve to fifteen tons of refuse per day, and the charging is effected by means of Boulnois & Brodie's patent charging apparatus, which consists of two trucks for each cell travelling on rails over the feed holes and into which the charge of refuse may be quickly dropped. This apparatus provides good storage for the refuse, and effects a saving in the cost of handling it. Four water-tube boilers are used with the cells and produce steam at 120 lb. per square inch. The cost of labour for burning is estimated at 8 d. per ton. Similar works have been erected at Shoreditch, Cambridge, Whitechapel, and other places. Fig. 47 is a sectional elevation along the front of the cells at the Shoreditch destructor works, and Fig. 48 is a cross-section through the boilers, flues, and cells. The illustrations show the improved Manlove-Alliott destructor fitted with Boulnois & Brodie's charging apparat...
