 will be determined largely by local conditions and the factory site,

 the total for plant and equipment to the figure mentioned above. 

 In addition to this cost again would be added the items expended 

 for tugs and scows. 



Superficially there seems to be no reason whatever why the auto- 

 matic and continuous cooker in its present form should not be

 terial is passed through, and therefore the length of time during 

 which it is being subjected to the cooking action of the steam, are 

 regulated with ease. Thus the degree of cooking is under complete 

 control. It has been demonstrated that cooking under pressure is
