This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 Excerpt: ...to act as a central support; behind this stone chock the roof is allowed to subside, no timber (or as little as possible) being left in the goaf. Along the face, and on either side of the stone chock, props are placed as necessitated by the state of the roof--usually in rows three deep--which are advanced daily. The distance between the stone chocks is about 6 feet. It will be seen from Fig. 104 that the face is what is termed "hipped" or stepped--that is to say, an even or horizontal line of face is not preserved, but the first gateway is a yard or two in advance of the second, and so on--the amount of advancement being usually 2 yards--the reason for this being, that if an even line of face were kept, the line of roof fracture would be parallel to the face, and would in all probability extend right across the district, and it would be nearly impossible, with the limited packing, to support the roof. As it is, the breakage of timber is considerable, and the utmost promptitude has to be exercised in drawing it out and building the chocks. The hewers kirve out the band in the winnings and shoot up the bottom coal; they then shoot down the top coal. At the longwall face, however, the pressure of the superincumbent strata upon the coal is sufficient usually to squeeze out the band, and the coal will hardly stand for kirving. It is desirable, therefore, that the face should be moved forward as fast as possible. The main advantage accruing from this mode of working is the greatly increased output per man, the average being 4.37 tons per shift. Detailed description of the longwall system of working as practised in a North of England colliery. The seam in question is a perfectly clean seam, free from stone bands and iron pyrites, and is worked for coal t...
