Excerpt from The Origin and Rationale of Colliery Explosions: Founded Upon an Examination of the Explosions at the Timsbury, Albion, Malago Vale, and Llanerch Collieries
The subject of Colliery Explosions again commands public attention, and proposals have been recently advanced, for strengthening the statutory regulations for the direction and discipline Of Mines. The cause of these calamities has been sought with persistence and assiduity: and evidences have been accumulating for an examination of the respective theories of fire-damp and coal-dust, as the principal agents in Colliery Explosions.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the mystery behind one of the largest Colliery explosions to have occurred in a non-gaseous mine. The author reveals the evidence of an explosive force beyond fire-damp, using the large body of evidence gathered from the explosion at the Timsbury Colliery in 1895 as the central case study. This book presents a compelling case that the gases which caused this explosion, and that have been also identified in many other mine explosions, in fact came from coal-dust. In concluding this, the author argues that an understanding of the role that coal-dust plays in mine explosions is of the utmost importance and presents strong evidence that this is the primary agent in such events.
