Mining science and practice from the early 20th century, bound into one detailed volume.
This archival edition presents a rich snapshot of the Institution of Mining Engineers’ work from 1918–1919, including official reports, presidential addresses, and a wide range of technical papers.
Contents span professional governance, field methods, surveying, rescue techniques, safety equipment, and the training of mining students. The volume compiles discussions from practical meetings, notes on organizational bye-laws, and the latest findings in coal mining, coal preparation, and mine safety, alongside illustrations, lists of plates, and the year’s proceedings.
- Technical papers on mine surveying, terrestrial magnetism, and magnetic declination measurements.
- Rescue apparatus research, safety-lamp developments, and handling of hazardous underground environments.
- Discussions, debates, and reports from general meetings across multiple regional Institutes.
- Comprehensive indexes, officers and council listings, and historical context for researchers and practitioners.
Ideal for engineers, historians of industrial science, and readers seeking a window into early 20th‑century mining practice and professional discourse.
