the steam for twelve to fifteen pounds of coal per horse power hour, then you will do more than can be expected of you for the next ten years.

QUAYLE: All right. It is a wonderful thing. When we first began to use superheaters, we had a great deal of trouble because of the excess of heat, I mean the heat in excess of the temperature of saturated steam at whatever pressure used, but we are coming to think that instead of getting along with a steam of 600 degrees temperature, we will go a thousand some day, and then, when we come to that, look out for the electrioal fellows. They will come and ask us, "How are you able to :furnish so much power for so little moneyT" We do not want to put them out of business, we want to keep them going.
