        Development of the water-gas generator is traced, and its application in producing synthesis gas (CO+2H₂) for making synthol of Fischer-Tropsch is discussed.  Both coke and bituminous coal are considered as fuels.  The Didier chamber-oven process involving production of low-temperature gas, which is cracked in the process to supplement the water gas H₂, is one of the most economical.  Low-grade noncoking coal is used.  Graphs are given showing costs per kg. oil, using various water-gas methods, with varying costs per ton of fuel.
