INVENTION OF • MM MAN IN HENCE DISPLAY New Process Is Proving Boon To World Coal Industry Among the many Interesting and tducational items on' display at the Museum of Science and Indus- -._-4ry in Chicago is an invention / .irhich originated in the mind of a "local resident, Nelson L. DaviS of Pistakee Bay. Called the "Heavy Media Process," the machine lias attracted world-wide attention for Its uniqtie and "effective method of ' 'Coal washing. ~ Perfected by Mr. Davis within V the last three years, its object is to separate the various elements of coal. The coal is immersed in two baths of heavy liquid (water. with particles of magnetite carried in suspension). In the first bath the coal floats and the rock "and slate •ink and are eliminated. The second bath causes the lighter, steel making coal to float and tne heavier, 8ulphur*b«f|ring fuel coal ^ sinks. The machine is now installed in • $10,900,000 coal preparation plant r in Pennsylvania and is also in use in other countries, including large coal manufacturing centers in ' - Prance. One of the major worries to - iteel manufacturers is obtaining food coal; thus the' new process Mi viewed by foresighted individuals as .a revolutionary invention. It is said that the process may extend the metallurgical coal reserve more than fifty years. Owns Company Mr. Davis, a contracting engineer, is owner and operator of the Nelson L. Davis company of Chicago. Local young men employed by him Include his son-in-law. Vale Adams, Robert Newkirk and Frank Johnson of McHenry and Rudy Bryant of McCullom Lake. The Davis family moved to Pistakee Bay last fall. Mrs. Davis and her 'teen aged daughter, Joan, have found the McHenry community an ideal spot to enjoy life, but Mr. Davis has found little time to pursue any local interests he Viight have. Much of his time is being spent talking over his new Invention with coal Industry leaders from all parts of the world, who have come to discuss the unique process machine with its Inventor. * MRS. J.
