Book Description
Excerpt from Transactions of the Midland Institute, Vol. 18 It may, however, be almost taken for granted that, when the thin seams are worked, coal-cutters will be employed to under-cut them, and conveyors used to put the coal into corves in the gateways or pass-byes, very few of which will be employed or required. In this way, manual labour can be employed in the less laborious operations of coal-getting, such as operating machines, placing the coal on face-conveyors, timbering, etc., while machinery will be adopted to do all the other work. In this way only will it be possible to work thin seams on anything like a favourable basis in a thick-coal district, where miners have not been trained to thin-coal mining. By the adoption of appli anoes now available, the output from even thin seams may be made to approach more closely to that of the thick seams than was formerly possible, whilst less work will be required in rip ping gates, which then become unnecessary.
