281 more power COAL HANDLING PLANT Coal arrives by rail, canal or river. It is then unloaded and carried to the boiler bunkers, or reserve store, by huge conveyors, at the rate of 200 or more tons an hour. —AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU SOME OF BRITAIN'S new Power Stations will consume up to 20,000 tons of coal every week. Most of this coal is of low-grade quality unsuitable for other purposes. Britain now consumes twice as much electricity as in 1938, and burned nearly 30,000,000 tons of coal for electricity production in 1948.
