Le rabot bélier a [été conçu] en Bavière, pour les couches minces de la mine de Peissenberg, il est utilisable à partir de 0,40 m de puissance, pour des tailles longues et en charbon dur. Il nécessite toutefois un bon toit. Son principe est le suivant : la taille, chassante ou rabattante, avec ou sans remblayage, est inclinée, tête en avant, sur le pendage [...] Un outil, muni de pics [...] et tracté par une chaîne marine, se déplace le long du front. L'énergie cinétique et la pesanteur le font rebondir et les chocs de ses pics abattent le charbon. La chaîne est commandée par deux têtes, chacune de 32 ch, ancrées l'une en voie de tête [...] l'autre en voie de fond [...] 1, record 2, French, - rabot%20b%C3%A9lier
