Sous le terme générique anglais de «drift» qui s'applique exclusivement à des galeries creusées dans la direction du gisement (en français «traçage»), on regroupe toute la variété des galeries : voie de fond, voie de niveau, galerie en direction, galerie de roulage, etc. Pour simplifier les choses, nous n'établirons qu'une seule différence générale entre galerie (drift) et travers-banc (cross-cut). Le travers-banc (cross-cut) désigne une coupe en travers du gisement; son rôle, en recoupant la veine, est essentiellement d'établir la connexion entre les voies de roulage de niveau creusées dans le gisement. Le travers-banc sert également dans les travaux de recherches ou de prospection. La galerie (drift), creusée dans le gisement d'après son vrai sens de galerie en direction ou de niveau, a une triple fonction : a) elle sert de base à l'exploitation des chantiers (stopes); b) elle est utilisée comme voie de roulage [...]; c) elle sert aussi subsidiairement comme voie de recherches dans les travaux de prospection. 2, record 13, French, - galerie%20d%27avancement%20en%20direction

A cutter-loader based on the plough principle and designed to cut coal which is too hard for the ordinary plough. Two vertical blades, fitted one at each end of the machine, carry cutting picks which shear the coal from the face by an oscillating motion. The machine is hauled backward and forward along the face by a chain haulage mounted on the tail end of the conveyor. The conveyor and slicer are held up to the coal by pneumatic rams spaced along the goaf side of the conveyor. The sheared coal is forced from the face by the wedge shape of the machine and is loaded on to the armoured conveyor by means of specially shaped ramps. The machine has been designed for seams with a minimum thickness of 4 ft and has a maximum cutting depth of 14 in. 4, record 14, English, - Huwood%20slicer

Stones(in all grains) include hard shale, coal, hard earth pellets, hard fertilizer pellets(except when found in domestic mustard seed) or other non-toxic materials of similar consistency. Any such material that is readily removable by ordinary cleaning methods is assessed as dockage. If a No. 6 buckwheat sieve or a No. 316 slotted sieve is used for special cleaning, the material removed may be assessed as dockage(see "Special cleaning" in the dockage assessment sections for each grain in this Guide). Grade tolerances established in this Guide are for material classed as stones which is not separable. Tolerances are normally expressed in number of stones per 500 grams. When this is not practical, stones are expressed as a percentage by weight. 1, record 19, English, - stones

Toutes les matières semblables que l'on peut facilement extraire en utilisant les procédures ordinaires de nettoyage sont déterminées comme impuretés. Si on utilise un tamis à sarrasin no 6 ou un tamis à fentes no 316 pour effectuer un nettoyage spécial, on peut déterminer les matières extraites comme impuretés (voir «Nettoyage spécial» dans les sections du Guide portant sur la détermination des impuretés de chaque grain). Les tolérances de grades qui sont établies dans ce Guide se rapportent aux matières considérés comme des pierres, qui ne sont pas séparables.

Rapid plows. The Loebbehobel is a rapid plow which is equipped with three or four protruding picks or bits. The plow is double-ended and cuts as it traverses in each direction along the face. The machine normally travels at a speed of about 75 ft/min and takes a slice of coal 3-4 in. thick off the face at each pass. It is pulled to and fro by an endless chain which is driven by the gearheads at each end of the armored conveyor. Maximum pulling force is about 20 tons. This machine is capable of working in seams 1 ft 8 in. thick up to 7 ft thick and can produce, load, and deliver to a gate conveyor from 1. 5 to 5 tons/min. The plow works well in seams which are soft or are hard but friable but will not work well in coal which is "tough" or "woody". 1, record 21, English, - rapid%20plow
