Abstract
IN its first report2 the Board stated that it had in view two main lines of research: first, a survey and classification of the coal seams in the various mining districts by means of chemical and physical tests in the laboratory, and, secondly, an investigation of the practical problems which must be solved if any large proportion of the raw coal at present burned in its natural state is to be replaced by the various forms of fuel obtainable from coal by carbonisation and gasification processes.
