Sinopsis
Excerpt from Colliery Working and Management: Comprising the Duties of a Colliery Manager the Superintendence Arrangement of Labour Wages and the Different Systems of Working Coal Seams
These are truths which will at once be admitted by practical men; yet the matters referred to have received but scant treatment in the numerous works on Coal-mining which have been published during the last few years. Practical and useful as many of these are - dealing, most of them, with the engineering rather than with the working of collieries; or describing the machinery and appliances required at collieries and in most cases being designed for the Mining Student rather than the Mine Manager - they have said little or nothing about labour, wages, cost of working, the daily routine of a colliery in work, or the actual duties of the Colliery Manager; and where they have touched upon systems of getting the coal, they have done so in brief outline rather than in working detail. In the present work the endeavour of the authors has been to deal with the side of the subject which has thus been.

Excerpt from Colliery Working and Management: Comprising the Duties of a Colliery Manager the Superintendence Arrangement of Labour Wages and the Different Systems of Working Coal Seams
A Large modern colliery, with its extensive and carefully elaborated equipment - including its various appliances for getting the coal and bringing it to the surface, for transmitting power through long distances underground, for causing great volumes, of air to flow through miles on confined passages, for draining wide areas of underground workings and rising the water to the surface, for sorting the coal into various sizes and separating from it the intermingled stone and dirt - offers (as has been well said) "one of the most remarkable specimens of human activity, and its triumph over matter." The successful working of a colliery implies the getting of the largest possible proportion of the workable coal in the best condition, at the lowest possible cost, and with the greatest safety and comfort to those employed.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. Delving deep into the coal industry's past, this book presents a comprehensive study of how advancements in technology and organisation from the 18th-century to the present day have transformed the methods of getting coal to the surface. Beginning with manual labour and simple digging, the author traces the development of machinery like the steam engine and safety lamp, which brought about significant changes in mining. These innovations led to deeper shafts, the use of pumps to manage water, and the introduction of improved ventilation systems to combat the hazards of explosive gases. Furthermore, the book examines the evolution of the various underground working methods and systems of payment used in collieries. It highlights the transition from the traditional bord and pillar method to longwall mining and double stall working, as well as the shift from individual piecework to more organised wage systems. Through meticulous research and analysis, the author uncovers the challenges and risks faced by coal miners throughout history, as well as the gradual improvements in working conditions and safety regulations. This book offers a valuable perspective on the mining industry's impact on the lives of workers and the broader economic and social landscape.
