Reference: Design of Mine Structures

[Ray Dunakin]

I found a great digital book online, "Design of Mine Structures", from 1912:

A really great reference resource, it has plans and information about various headframes, ore cars, skips, hoist houses, ore bins, coal tipples, etc.

I wish I'd seen this sooner, it would have been very helpful with the headframe I'm currently working on!

Good to see that book available digitally.  I bought a hard-back copy years ago.  There's a lot of information.

Certainly a good literature.
Should anyone have detailed questions about mines I can gladly try to answer.
I have worked for 5 years as a visitor guide us in the mine.
