Abstract
THE literature on cokes until about twenty years ago concerned itself mainly with analytical information. Knowledge of their properties in use was mainly empirical, and to many important questions no answers could be given. In the meantime, a very large amount of experimental study has been devoted to the subject by research workers, and in Great Britain by committees established by producers and users of cokes. The Midland Coke Research Committee has issued two reports—the first in 1930—of work done under the direction of the late Prof. R. V. Wheeler and Dr. R. A. Mott. The second and present report was ready for issue just before Prof. Wheeler's death last year, and was his last publication.
