'All sizes of 'White' prepared coal is loaded into railroad cars with loading booms to minimize breakage and preserve the best appearance of the coal. It would be useless to carefully mine and screen our coal if we did not use proper care in loading it into the railroad cars. These booms lower to the bottom of the car when it is first placed under the tipple for loading, and raised from time to time as the car fills up. Note how perfectly screened this lump coal appears on the boom! Not a sign of slack to be seen. Treated for dust if desired.'

'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.
