Of the several types of coal jig, that in greatest use is the Baum. ... The Baum jig ... has a stroke rate of 55-57 strokes/minute, the water being pulsed by means of compressed air. The bed recloses by unassisted gravitation, no suction stroke being used. This closing can be modified by the use of hydraulic water, or by slowing down the release of the pulsing air during the return stroke of the jigging cycle. 4, record 2, English, - Baum%20jig
