Abstract
THE whole development of electric winding in mines has taken place within the comparatively short period of twenty years. The method has proved itself thoroughly trustworthy, and in many respects superior to the older steam-engine types. The ease with which automatic devices in aid of control may be incorporated in the equipment is a special advantage, and completely automatic installations have been designed in which even an operator is unnecessary.
