Le bouchon en "V" est le plus communément pratiqué. Il consiste essentiellement en une série de paires de trous partant de côtés opposés dans la face d’attaque et se dirigeant à la rencontre de l'un et de l'autre, de manière à enlever par explosion un prisme en forme de coin ou de cône, lequel généralement peut s’étendre du mur(sol) de la galerie jusqu'à son toit(plafond). 3, record 1, French, - bouchon%20en%20V

In coal mines, the scraper bucket is a bottomless, three-sided box, with a hinged back. The hinge operates in a forward direction so that on the return journey on the coalface, the back opens allowing the box to remain empty. On the loading journey, the coal closes the hinge and the material is drawn or scraped forward to the point of discharge. 3, record 3, English, - scraper%20bucket

Le scraper, ou racloir [...] est une pelle tirée par câble et qui attaque de haut en bas le tas à charger. Le scraper ravance en général les produits sur le mur jusqu'à une estacade de chargement sous laquelle circulent des berlines. La forme de la pelle fait qu'elle ne racle que dans le sens front-estacade. Dans son trajet de retour, elle glisse sur le tas sans y pénétrer.(Dans certains cas, la tôle arrière du scraper, mobile autour d’un axe supérieur horizontal, se rabat autour de celui-ci dans le trajet retour qui est ainsi facilité). Le scraper est fixé à deux câbles aboutissant aux deux tambours d’un treuil spécial. Le câble de retour, avant d’arriver au treuil, passe dans la gorge d’une poulie fixée à front de galerie. 4, record 3, French, - racleur

Its main cutting unit is the trepanner wheel with cutting arms, one at each end of the machine to enable it to cut in both directions on the face. Also fitted are a vertical, back-shearing jib, a floor-cutting jib, duplicated to enable cutting in either direction and, if necessary, a roof-cutting disc. The machine is used in conjunction with an armoured flexible conveyor on a prop-free-front face; suitable for seams between 3 and 4 ft thick, though it can work in thicker seams if the top coal falls freely. 2, record 4, English, - trepanner

A longwall cutter-loader of the plough type, with two cutting blades, one at each end, operated by a hydraulic cylinder which can give a powerful thrust (about 42 tons) to the blades and cause them to bite into the coal. While this thrust is being exerted, the machine is anchored by means of a vertical jack which engages the roof and floor. The jack is built on sliding bars and the machine is moved by sliding the jack along the bars to the next position for anchoring the machine. It travels alongside the conveyor but is not connected to it. A loading ramp guides the cut coal on to the conveyor. The machine is employed in seams from 4 to 5 ft thick with a strong roof and floor. 2, record 5, English, - Samson%20stripper

La firme Mavor et Coulson construit une machine appelée Samson stripper qui abat le charbon par arrachement d’un copeau épais(environ 60 cm) chargé directement dans le convoyeur de taille. La machine est automotrice. Elle comprend un moteur qui entraîne une pompe à huile agissant sur une unité de propulsion. Celle-ci est formée d’un étançon vertical à double effet qui coince la machine entre mur et toit et d’un cylindre horizontal muni d’un piston également à double effet. Le piston horizontal porte, à chacune de ses extrémités, un coin d’attaque qui peut exercer sur le massif une pression de 42 t. La réaction est supportée par l'étançon vertical. La tête coupante peut ainsi pénétrer de 80 cm dans le massif. On desserre ensuite l'étançon de sorte que le bâti de la machine repose de tout son poids sur le mur et que l'unité de propulsion devient libre de glisser de 80 cm afin de se préparer à effectuer un nouveau cycle d’avancement. 1, record 5, French, - rabot%20automoteur%20Samson

A widely used cutter-loader in which the ordinary jib of the longwall coal cutter is replaced by a shear drum which cuts a web from 16 to 22 inches depending on its width. The machine travels on an armored conveyor and requires a prop-free-front for working. It shears the coal in one direction and the front coal is loaded by a plough deflector, and then returns along the face (without cutting) and loads the remainder of the broken coal. The ordinary Anderton is suitable for coal seams above 3 feet 6 inches thick. 5, record 6, English, - Anderton%20shearer%2Dloader

Haveuse Anderton. Elle a été fabriquée en Angleterre par Anderton Boyes et en France, sous licence, par la Sagem. C'est une machine à tambour ravageur. [...] Ses passes sont de 50 cm. Dans les couches de plus de 1, 25 m, les résultats sont favorables lorsque le charbon se décolle de lui-même au toit. Le tambour, dans sa rotation, attaque également la banquette située au mur devant le convoyeur blindé sur lequel la machine évolue. La machine est complétée par un soc en acier forgé permettant le chargement dans les deux sens, de sorte qu'une partie du charbon est chargée au cours de l'abatage lui-même, le reste l'étant lors du mouvement de retour de la machine qui se fait à vitesse rapide. Pendant cette course, le charbon de la banquette situé contre le flanc du convoyeur est lui-même chargé, de telle sorte qu'après passage de la machine, l'allée est impeccable. 1, record 6, French, - haveuse%20Anderton
