Abstract
WE have received from the University of Sheffield a report on the research work done in the Departments of Mining and Fuel Technology during the year 1934-35. The former includes numerous subjects, such as mine ventilation, mine lighting, research on trailing cables, accuracy of mine surveys (in which we miss, however, any reference to the very valuable work done by the Institution of Mine Surveyors), subsidence resulting from mining operations, gas testing, movement of firedamp, fireproofing of mine timber, whilst in the Department of Fuel Technology the composition and decomposition and analysis of coal have been carefully studied. The formation of coke, the combustion of coke and the testing of coke have also received attention. A perusal of this pamphlet cannot fail to be of interest to colliery managers.
