A group of Polish engineers visited the US as part of an international cooperation program. They used their instruments to measure the properties of the roof rocks in 4 American underground mines. The data are given in the report with formulae for calculating the rock properties. Suggestions for improved design of the penetrometer used in the measurements are made (mostly those were required because of the hardness of the rocks and to facilitate the taking of the data).
