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 1, English, - rake%20car

The equipment which transports men and materials is also of prime importance, because each must get to the working face in the shortest time possible. Therefore, we propose to ride men in specially constructed rake cars right from the surface to the face ... 1, record 1, English, - rake%20car

A mine locomotive operated by electricity drawn from overhead conductors. Small grooved wheels are held in contact with the conductors and the current passes down a trolley arm to the motor. It is very efficient where heavy loads are hauled up relatively steep gradients. In British coal mines, their use is restricted to approved intake airways not nearer than 274 metres to a working face. Their high cost and stringent conditions of use have discouraged their more rapid application. 5, record 3, English, - trolley%20locomotive
