| Summary | "The Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, 'Destructors' to 'Diameter' " by Various is a comprehensive reference work that covers a wide range of topics from the field of arts, sciences, and general information, likely written in the early 20th century. This particular volume appears to focus on concepts and machinery related to waste disposal and disposal technology, as indicated by the detailed discussions on the workings of destructor plants—facilities used for burning refuse and waste material efficiently and with minimal environmental impact. The opening portion of this encyclopaedia begins with the technical explanation of "Destructor" technology, emphasizing its design, operational efficiency, cost factors, and environmental considerations. It provides insights into how these waste disposal systems function, including the importance of chimney drafts and combustion temperatures. Additionally, it touches upon economic factors related to waste burning, such as the costs associated with operating various destructor models across different towns, and discusses the utility of residues produced from burning refuse, underscoring the pivotal role of such technology in waste management practices pertinent to urban settings.
