Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Delving deep into the coal industry's past, this book presents a comprehensive study of how advancements in technology and organisation from the 18th-century to the present day have transformed the methods of getting coal to the surface. Beginning with manual labour and simple digging, the author traces the development of machinery like the steam engine and safety lamp, which brought about significant changes in mining. These innovations led to deeper shafts, the use of pumps to manage water, and the introduction of improved ventilation systems to combat the hazards of explosive gases. Furthermore, the book examines the evolution of the various underground working methods and systems of payment used in collieries. It highlights the transition from the traditional bord and pillar method to longwall mining and double stall working, as well as the shift from individual piecework to more organised wage systems. Through meticulous research and analysis, the author uncovers the challenges and risks faced by coal miners throughout history, as well as the gradual improvements in working conditions and safety regulations. This book offers a valuable perspective on the mining industry's impact on the lives of workers and the broader economic and social landscape.
