Inscribed and signed by Gerald Sutcliffe. "Richard Sutcliffe (1849-1930) was an Irish mining engineer and inventor, active in England. He was born on a farm in Tipperary and worked at coal mines in Ireland between 1857 and 1885. He moved to Barnsley, England in August 1885. In 1892 he invented the world's first coal cutting machine. In 1905 he invented the world's first underground conveyor belt. This invention revolutionized the mining industry by greatly reducing the amount of labour needed to transport coal. His company, Richard Sutcliffe Ltd., based in Horbury near Wakefield pioneered the manufacture of conveyor belts used in the mining and assembly line industries. His company devised many other types of mining equipment."-wiki. / Mining. engineerings, inventions, machinery. Conveying machinery. Convoyeurs. conveyors. Conveying machinery.
