A Guide for Reducing Fuel Consumption in Commercial Plants
From Forward: "This bulletin of the handbook type assembles in one volume educational "quiz sheets" and reference material used in the program that have permanent value in detecting waste and in lowering fuel consumption. It is believed that this handbook will serve the same purpose in the postwar period and aid in good measure the efficiency of fuel utilization."
Instruments for Recording Carbon Dioxide in Flue Gases
From introduction: "The purpose of the Bureau of Mines in publishing the results is to show the factors which may affect the accuracy of CO2 recorder and the manner in which a recorder should be tested."
The National Fuel Efficiency Program During the War Years, 1943-45
From Forward: "This bulletin describes how the work was accomplished, including the functioning of the central office, the division of the nation into working areas, the acquiring of volunteer workers, the functioning of the area offices, and achievement of publicity. Representative resulting fuel saving at a number of individual plants are listed, as well as the estimated over-all accomplishments. This report should be of future value as an example of national organizing of volunteer workers, in addition to serving as a historical record."
