For many years, underground mining in Cape Breton has taken place under the ocean. In order to get there, miners either take a small trolley called a rake down a slope to the mine, and eventually their work place, or they go down in an elevator called a cage, and then travel out. These are two methods of mining coal that were used in Cape Breton. 2, record 3, English, - rake%20car

This shovel is widely used for stone loading. Various models are available to meet particular conditions of track gage, mine car size or headroom available. The loading bucket, mounted on a rocker arm, is pushed forward into the pile of debris; the rocker arm is then actuated to swing the loaded bucket over the rocker carriage and to deliver the bucket load into a mine car or, in the case of one of the models, on to a variable-speed belt conveyor which in turn delivers into the mine car. The machines operate on a rail track and, swivelling on the carriage, can sweep across the width of the heading. On raising the bucket for discharge, the device is self-centering. 1, record 9, English, - Eimco%20rocker%20shovel
