Abstract
The continuous limit of large systems of particles of finite size on the line is described. The particles are assumed to move freely and stick under collision, to form compound particles whose mass and size is the sum of the masses and sizes of the particles before collision, and whose velocity is determined by conservation of linear momentum.
