Excerpt from The Underground Haulage of Coal by Wire Ropes: Including the System of Wire Rope Tramways as a Means of Transportation for Mining Products; A Practical Essay Written for John a Roebling's Sons Co; Of Trenton, N. J
In the present little volume we offer to our patrons, mining engineers, and to all interested in the transportation of coal and other mining products, a collection of such useful, practical and theoretical information as will be of assistance in planning appropriate machinery for hauling and hoisting.
We have refrained from filling the book with pictures and fancy sketches, and include only a series of carefully selected plans, representing the executed and approved conveying systems operated at the present day in the best American and English collieries.
It was originally our intention to confine this treatise solely to "underground" haulage, hut while preparing the same we received so many inquiries about wire rope tramways that we considered the subject but incompletely treated without describing this method of "overground" transportation, which in many mining districts already plays an important part, and promises with every year to become more and more extended.
The general plans, showing the disposition of the systems, are invariably sketched without scale, as it would have been impossible to illustrate, in a correctly proportioned drawing, all the different parts.
The details, however, are drawn to a scale, and in most cases the dimensions are added in figures, justifying us to trust that in combination with the explanatory text the subject may be clear even to the non-professional reader.
Of the numerous wire rope planes constructed in England and Scotland, we selected, according to our judgment, some of the best systems, and included such details as differ from those used in our country, and which may be of interest.
The majority of examples, however, are taken from the Monongahela c…

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of underground and overground transport within the coal industry. Coal haulage methods such as gravity inclined planes, simple engine planes, tail rope systems, endless rope systems, and cable tramways are described in detail and illustrated with diagrams. It traces the historical development of wire rope haulage in coal mining, from its humble beginnings in the early days of deep mining to the sophisticated systems employed in the late 1800s. The author provides practical hints and insights into the selection and arrangement of different systems based on specific needs and circumstances. The book also thoroughly examines the safety arrangements and accessories used to prevent accidents and ensure smooth operation, including the design of supporting rollers, wire rope fastenings, and emergency devices. It concludes by presenting a range of actual wire rope installations, including detailed descriptions of their operation and performance, along with valuable insights into their efficiency and cost-effectiveness. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
