The U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM) was the primary United States Government agency conducting scientific research and disseminating information on the extraction, processing, use, and conservation of mineral resources.
Founded on May 16, 1910, through the Organic Act (Public Law 179), USBM's missions ...
A continuous miner designed for driving coal headings in medium to thick seams. The machine is crawler-mounted and equipped with two triple-arm rotating cutting units and 1383 a chain conveyor. The cut coal is discharged on to the chain conveyor which delivers into shuttle or mine cars.

Industry:Mining
A continuous miner with a walking mechanism instead of crawler tracks. The walking mechanism was adopted to make the machine suitable for thin seams. The lowest crawler-track-mounted machine can operate in a minimum seam height of 4 ft (1.2 m), whereas the walking type can work in a 2.5-ft (0.76-m) seam.

Industry:Mining
A continuous miner, developed in the United States, for driving headings in medium or thick coal seams. It weighs about 26 st (23.6 t), and makes a cut 8-1/2 ft (2.6 m) wide, gathers the cut coal and loads it into cars or conveyor at a rate up to about 4 st/min (3.6 t/min). It can work in seam heights from 3 ft 8 in (1.1 m) up to about 10 ft (3 m). It consists, mainly, of a boom carrying the cutting head; the gathering head, and at the rear the jib support frame on which the jib can be slewed. The machine is operated by hydraulic motors.
Industry:Mining
A continuous platform or series of spaced platforms that move in a circular horizontal path.
Industry:Mining
A continuous process of dissolving silver or gold in cyanide solution and simultaneously precipitating the precious metals with mercury in the same vessel, with an electrical current assisting precipitation.
Industry:Mining
A continuous record made in a borehole showing the velocity of sound waves over short distances in adjacent rock; velocity is related to porosity and nature of the liquid occupying pores.
Industry:Mining
A continuous record of the conductivity of strata traversed by a borehole as a function of depth.
