This CD contains the page images and searchable text from an 1890 book describing the technology of the mining industry of that period. The 500-page book describes and illustrates all of the light and heavy machinery in use in the most progressive mines of late Victorian England and the world. The machinery includes all that required to generate and transmit power for mining operations and to support prospecting, quarrying, excavation, shaft-sinking, coal-cutting, pumping, ventilating, lighting, hauling and hoisting, transport, and the reduction and dressing of ores. The page images include 639 illustrations within the text, and over 40 pages of illustrated advertising by machinery manufacturers.
