Excerpt from Methods of Mine-Timbering
Before Deidesheimer's square set system came into use, the ingen ious placing of posts, caps, and stulls constituted the only method of timbering, the multitude of conditions met in the mines making the combinations almost endless. Where veins occur in firm, solid rock, being perpendicular, or near it, the danger of caving is greatly lessened, and the amount of timber required is reduced to a minimum, but these conditions are exceptional.
