To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On most open-cast mines and quarries, and even in connection with hydraulicing and dredging, a simple form of cable- way, easily and cheaply erected, and movable from place to place, is the . most economical and effective medium for moving large quantities of dirt or heavy boulders. A very satis&ctery self-acting rope- way, on Roe's principle, is used at St. David's gold mine, N. Wales. It has a nominal capacity of 24 t. per hr., a speed of 120 yd. per min., and 6-cwt. buckets. Haulikg and Hois...ting — Subface Transport. 425 The liue is 1100 yd. long, with a fall between terminalB of 210 ft., flnng a mean grade of 1 in 15 with load. Yeli^ity of travel is ept uniform by an automatic regulator. A good example of double-rope naulage is that at Block 10 mine. Broken Hill. Its total length is 2000 ft., in 5 roans, longest 850 ft. Skips holding ^ t. of ore are attached to the nauling rope by automatic grips, £e operation of which is as follows: The Imckets, on being filled at the ore-bins, are pushed along an oYer- head steel rail, until they reach a cradle, through which the end- less ro()e travels, and are there automatically attached (by a weighted lever, which is thrown over).
