Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book illuminates the diligent efforts taken by the US Fuel and Railroad Administrations during World War I to substitute local and regionally available coal sources for imported coals used in Midwestern gas manufacturing. These efforts stemmed from a patriotic desire to free up rail…road transport capacity for critical war purposes. The book provides compelling evidence that, while local coals yielded less gas than their imported counterparts and produced inferior coke by contemporary standards, their use was financially viable and offered a more reliable supply chain during periods of severe transportation disruptions. The author presents a detailed examination of the technical challenges and economic considerations associated with substituting local coals, providing valuable insights into the complexities of wartime resource management and the resilience of American industry in the face of adversity. This book offers a valuable contribution to our understanding of the industrial and economic history of the United States during World War I, with particular relevance to the coal and gas industries.
