Williams, W R

This book provides a study aid to mine engineering students combining graphical techniques of mine mapping, mine design, and mine layout, as well as supplemental techniques needed for adequate mine design. The book reviews cartographic techniques, the fundamentals of plane surveying, standard drafting room practices, guidelines for mine map symbolization and production, mine entry nomenclature, and details of topographic map production. Supplemental techniques include methods of achieving functional performance in the layout of a mine, statistical mapping of exploratory data, and techniques of descriptive geometry. Designs of ventilation, transportation, drainage, and electrical supply systems of mines are discussed in the final chapters. An appendix discusses mine mapping symbols. 105 references, 234 figures, 16 tables.
