Abstract: Internal combustion engine exhaust filter devices and the like are regenerated by placement in a reclamation or burn-off furnace, raising the temperature to at least about 800° F. to 900° F. and conducting relatively low volumes of low pressure air through the filter media to combust entrapped particulates and other materials residing on the filter media. The reclamation furnace includes an afterburner for combusting materials discharged from the filter devices into the furnace chamber so that complete combustion of materials is accomplished before discharge from the furnace. The flow of combustion air for the filter devices is controlled by manifolding and valving connected to a source and the oxygen content of combustion air may be enhanced by a separate source of oxygen injected into the combustion air flow stream.

Abstract: This invention relates to a leader for use in processing lengthy strips of continuous business forms assemblies. The leader includes feeding means complemental to that of the forms assemblies and one or more transverse areas of pressure-sensitive adhesive for temporary positive attachment, one edge portion being applicable to detachment and application over the leading edge of the endmost portion of the form assembly and the other to a major body portion of the assembly. The leader may also have several other embodiments such as a folded portion for attachment to the forms leader edge. The leader is especially applicable to initiating data processing operations of forms assemblies on printers of various feeding types.
