The coal 'face' can vary in length from 100-350m. Self-advancing, hydraulically-powered supports temporarily hold up the roof while coal is extracted. When coal has been extracted from the area, the roof is allowed to collapse. Over 75% of the coal in the deposit can be extracted from panels of coal that can extend 3km through the coal seam.
Bearing In - Cutting a horizontal groove at the bottom or side of the coal face. Bed - A separate stratum of coal or other natural deposit such as clay, rock or shale. Bench - A horizontal section of coal seam included between parting of coal or shale. Bituminous Coal - A coal that contains 15% to 20% volatile matter. It is dark brown to

The mean life at the coal-face of these 73 ex coal face workers was 21-3 years, but some survived only a few years while the fittest endured 33-3 years. Those 47 who were over 44 years of age on leaving the face averaged 28-4 years of coal-face life, and the 26 aged less than 45 a coal-face life of 8-8 years. Both collieries demonstrate the ...
