Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Coal Mining, Vol. 1 All errors, typographical and otherwise, that we have dis covered in the first edition have been corrected. In a num ber Of instances we have altered the text somewhat, when by doing so we thought we could make the explanation clearer to the students. We have changed the page num bers in all the volumes except Vols. IV and V, so that each paper and part will begin with 1, instead Of numbering the pages continuously throughout the volumes, as in the first edition. In order to make the indexes intelligible we have given each paper and part a number. This number has been placed on the headline Of each page opposite the page number and to distinguish it from the page number it has been preceded by the printer's section mark Gonse quently, a reference such as 19, page 12, would be readily found as follows The back stamps on the first three vol umes show the sections (i. E., Papers) included in' the volumes, that for Vol. II reading 11 - 21 hence, look at the inside edges Of the headlines to Vol. II until 19 is found, and then through 19 until page 12 is found. The Question Papers have been given the same section numbers as the Instruction Papers to which they belong, and are grouped together at the end of the volume contain ing the Instruction Papers to which they refer. The Keys have been numbered in the same manner. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Coal and the Coal Mines IN treatingof so large a theme in so small a compass it is impossible to do more than make an outline sketch. It has been the aim of the author to give reliable information free from minute details and technicalities. That information has been, for the most part, gathered through personal experience in_ithe mines. Literature of this special subject is very meagre, and the author is unable to acknowledge any real indebtedness to more than half a dozen volumes. First among these is the valuable treatise on Coal Mining, by H. M. Chance of the Pennsylvania Geological Survey. Other volumes from which the author has derived considerable information are the State geological reports of Pennsylvania, the mine in.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Coal Mining, Vol. 5: Tables and Formulas This volume contains all the principal Tables, Rules, and Formulas occurring in the Instruction Papers of the Course. They have been collected and placed in this volume in order to make them convenient for ready reference, so that the student will not be obliged to search the Instruction Papers to find them. The various Rules and Formulas are here grouped under the titles of the Instruction Papers in which they occur. Following each rule and formula are its number and also that of the article of the Instruction Paper in which it is discussed. These numbers may be readily found in the text by noting the section number on the headline at the top of the page. Thus: on page 91 of this volume we see that the formula for Discharge of Pump is followed by the number of the formula, and by Art. 2292, the arti cle in which it occurs; and that 21 is on the headline. Since 21 is in Vol. II, we look in Vol. II for 21, and through this section until Art. 2292 is found. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A Text Book of Coal Mining written by Herbert W. Hughes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book of Coal-Mining: For the Use of Colliery Managers and Others IN the preparation of this volume my aim has been to supply a text-book of moderate dimensions, giving all the information with which the student and the practical miner should be familiar. In order, however, to economise space, I have had to omit reference to many appliances which have become obsolete from their antiquity, or by reason of their failure in practice. Although it is impossible within the limits of the book to furnish exhaustive descriptions on all points, yet the details of general colliery work have been fully described, on the ground that collieries are more often made remunerative by perfection in small matters, than by bold strokes of engineering. All modern collieries are practically identical so far as general machinery and arrangements are concerned; nevertheless, it frequently happens, in particular localities, that the adoption of a combination of small improvements any one of which viewed separately may be of apparently little value, turns an unprofitable concern into a paying one. At the end of each chapter will be found a carefully selected list of Memoirs in which fuller information can be sought. This will, it is hoped, prove a novel and useful feature in a treatise on coal-mining, for, scattered through the pages of the Transactions of the Mining Institutes, numerous valuable papers exist; but, owing to the lack of general indexes, they are unfortunately not consulted so much as they deserve to be.

This book was released on 2016-06-27 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on the Gases Met With in Coal Mines and the General Principles of Ventilation The following remarks were written in the hope that some or other of them might prove of service in conveying to the merely practical miner a general knowledge of the laws and principles of ventilation, as applied to mines, and of the nature and properties, 'chemical and physical, of our atmosphere, as well as those of some of the gases most frequently encountered in coal mines. They were not intended to have been communicated to this or any similar institution, or thcy would, in all probability, not only have been put into somewhat different language, but would also have placed some of the matters to which they refer in a more purely scientific point of view. But, after all, such an alteration would, perhaps, have rendered them less useful than it is hoped they may prove to the particular class of persons for whom they were written, such as underviewers, overmen, deputy-overmen, and even workmen who may wish to fit themselves for assuming any of these offices; and, at the request of my colleague, your present President, I venture to submit them to your notice.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles and Practice of Coal Mining The science of mining so largely consists of practical applications of geology, mechanics, physics, chemistry, and other branches of natural knowledge, that it has proved difficult in many cases to decide what acquaintance with these subjects on the part of the reader to take for granted. The author is hopeful that sufficient information has been given to make the book self-explanatory, but students are urged to study these collateral sciences as fully as circum stances permit.

Download or read book Coal Mining written by Thomas H. Walton and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Coal Mining: Described and Illustrated To extract coal from seams lying on low inclinations has been very successfully practised in the older mining countries. In some of the provinces of France, where the coal seams incline upwards of 70, and which are comparatively thick, much difficulty was formerly experienced in attempts made to mine out the coal entirely. Galleries driven into the coal seams horizontally, with pillars of certain widths left between them, resulted in much of the coal being lost, after it was detached from the pillars. It was then often buried by the rocks which caved in near the ends of these pillars. This occasioned a change to the present system of working by remblais, which seems to be a plan well adapted to the taking out of the coal of highly inclined coal seams. Ventilation of coal mines is treated in the following pages only in the most practical manner. To comprehend the fine points connected with mine ventilation on an extensive scale, an accurate knowledge of pneumatics with much practical experience is absolutely necessary. Absurdities connected with this important subject have floated into the works of very eminent writers, and it will not be an easy task to eradicate them. The chief difficulties in the way of practical ventilation of mines seem to consist in the maintenance of the air-passages of sufficient size free from obstructions, and in the resistance met with by air-currents moving with high velocities. Trusting that the succeeding pages will be found of use to the student of coal mining and to the operator of coal mines and the owners of coal lands, and that they may be of interest to the general reader as well, the author passes them over to the public with a consciousness of having thus done something towards performing his duty towards his fellow man.
