Palmer, K.N. and Tonkin, P.S., 1956. SMOULDERING IN DUSTS AND FIBROUS MATERIALS PART XII IGNITION WITHIN DUST HEAPS. Fire Research Notes 234
ABSTRACT
A comparison is made of the times taken for smouldering to penetrate upwards through heaps of sawdust when the position of the lighting source was varied. The sawdust was ignited either at the base of the heap or at a point within the heap. For a given depth of sawdust overlying the igniting source, smouldering was more rapid when initiated at the base of the heap.
