This test done at the start of 'Icelandic 5', with full charcoal
inside a 27 cm ID furance x 58 cm tall.
Individual operators worked a roughly 5 minute cycle on the bellows with measurements made over 30 seconds.
Figures in itallics were generated mathmatically. Richard & Darrell have past experience with this unit.
