名词修饰名词,这中间是省略了什么吗

今天看到经济学家科斯论文里的两句话:This paper is concerned with those actions of business firms which have harmful effects on others. The standard example is that of a factory the smoke from which has harmful effects on those occupying neighboring properties. 后面一句我实在读不明白。

1.The standard example is that of a factory  这个that指的什么?

2.这里The standard example is that of a factory the smoke from which...factory 后面直接跟了the smoke,这是中间省略了什么吗?

按我对句意的理解,that 值得就是the smoke,可是这里为什么the smoke又能直接接在factory后面?

希望各位赐教!

1 that 在此为名词替代词,替代the example, that of a factory=the example of a factory. that替代the example, 避免重复名词。

2 the smoke of which...= whose smoke, 为修饰 a factory的定语从句。
