Excerpt from Electricity in MiningIn Chapter V. He has discussed the principles and practice of the distribution of electricity, as it is applicable to mining work, giving descriptions of every method of distribution, even some of those that in his Opinion will not often be applied, because it has come to his knowledge that they have been applied in a few cases.In Chapter VI. He has dealt very fully with the application of electricity to the different machinery about a mine. In writing this chapter, the Author has had before his mind the fact that there are a large and increasing number of engineers who are engaged in the application of electricity to mining work, and who necessarily are not familiar with the working of mines, when they first come to them. In the past there have been a very large number of failures, and a very large amount of money wasted, owing to the fact that those who have been engaged in applying electricity to some mining problem, have not been acquainted with mines, and have been far too sanguine as to the amount of power required for performing a given amount of work. Pathetic complaints have been made at the Mining Institute, by those who have been advising mining engineers in the application of electricity, that motors supposed to deliver a great many horse power would not perform the work, say in hauling trams, that was easily performed by one horse in the ¿esh. It has been the Author's endeavour, in writing Chapter VI., to provide information that will enable whoever may be engaged in mining work, to form a very safe idea of the power he must provide in each case, while on the other hand he has endeavoured to show mining engineers and mine managers how that power is to be delivered, and how they are to know when they have the proper amount.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
