'On the top level of the heat drier building showing, from left to right, the motors, blowers and tops of the cyclones. The vertical tubes are exhaust stacks for the waste heating gases and moisture. The driers themselves are long, vertical tubes, located beneath this deck. A blast of hot gasses dries the coal and the cyclones then separate the coal from the waste gasses and moisture. Purpose of the drying operation is to reduce the moisture acquired in coal washing, 'or from the atmosphere during storage on the stock pile', and provide the processing plant with a uniform charge material.

'A sheltered conveyor brings the Disco product from the carbonizers to this sheltered mechanical cooling wharf. A method of careful cooling in motion prevents spontaneous firing of the fuel and avoids injury to the structure of the product. The wharf is contructed of a series of grates, which are successively raised and lowered in a wavelike manner to keep the Disco product in motion and convey it slowly, while it is being cooled, down to the discharge end of the wharf.
