Copies exist in libraries and on the commercial market, so it is best described as specialist and moderately scarce. The first edition is a comprehensive, chronologically structured survey of mining and tunnelling machinery, tracing their evolution from early prototypes to modern excavation, drilling, tunnelling, and hybrid systems. Purpose and Approach: * The book's declared aim is to chart the development of mining and tunnelling machinery from inception to contemporary design. * It uses a chronological method to show how machines evolved, how design ideas influenced later models, and how both successes and failures shaped modern practice. * This approach prevents the work from becoming an unsorted compendium and instead creates a coherent narrative of technological progress. The book is divided into five major sections covering rock excavation, soft?ground excavation, coal mining machinery, hybrid machines, and cutters. * Major Content Areas: Rock Excavation Machinery. This is the largest section (pp. 3-319) and includes nine chapters below. * Drills ? horizontal, vertical, and raise drills; detailed histories of designs such as the Ingersoll rock drill. * Raise Drills & Shaft?Boring Machines. Development of raise drilling, pilot hole methods, and major manufacturers (Robbins, Wirth, Williams Hughes). * Early Rock Tunnelling Machines. 19th-early 20th century machines. * Channel & Mersey Railway Tunnel Machines. Pioneering Channel Tunnel and Mersey Tunnel equipment. * Modern Rock Tunnelling Machines. National developments in the U.S., Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, France, and Britain. * Incline Boring Machines, Reaming Machines, and Mini Rock Tunnelling Machines ? including rectangular and circular mini TBMs. * Water?Jet Assisted Machines. Early water?jet cutters and TBMs. * Shields and Mechanized Shields. historical shield designs from Brunel to Greathead, and mechanized shields through the 20th century. * Pressurized Plenum Chamber Machines, Slurry Machines, and Earth Pressure Balanced Machines ? early slurry use, bentonite systems, and EPB shield evolution.
