Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
As a boy, Geoffrey Hayes was enthralled by stories of beam engines told by his two grandfathers. His father, as a new starter in a cotton mill, mopped the floor of an 1857 beam engine house every Saturday morning. A gift of Robert H. Thurston's book 'A History of the Steam Engine' intensified the interest in beam engines. Pilgrimages were made to Cornwall to see the surviving engines at he tin mines. Mr Hayes became involved professionally with the restoration of the Leicester beam engines and the Caprington Colliery engine in the Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This book tells how mines evolved from simple bell pits into extensive networks of shafts and tunnels and extending deep underground. It describes the methods used to drive tunnels through the rock and the machines that were developed to cut the coal. It explains how the coal was transported from the coalface to the shaft, a task performed variously by women or children with sleds of baskets, pit ponies, rope haulage systems, conveyors and locomotives, and it describes the winding engines used to lower men and equipment into the mine and to bring them and the coal back to the surface. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Artikel-Nr. GOR001022341
