CONTENTS and SAMPLE PAGES

This comprehensive encyclopaedia of tunnelling, mining and drilling equipment follows the evolutionary development of the machines from their earliest inception to latest units operating today. It is of interest to all those concerned with tunnelling, mining, excavating or drilling including, construction companies, machine manufacturers, engineering students and lecturers, and government organisations. Whilst giving technical details of the equipment the encyclopaedia is written in such a way as to be accessible to interested non-specialists.

This three volume set replaces the highly acclaimed Handbook of Mining and Tunnelling Machinery by the same author.

It is also an outstanding example of felicitous writing and illustrating. It must rank as one of the most important technical and historical contributions to the mining and tunnelling industry of the last 50 years."
