The one before the SM2/2X, Never worked on the SM2, but worked on the 2X, great gate end boxes, the 2X had SEL, but was thyristor controlled SEL, the later boxes went solid state in the SEL circuits.
They could be a death trap when in sequence if you weren't aware of the problem on multi motor control, even in test it would bring in the slave GEB's, poor design, but was well publicized so electricians tended to pull the sequence plugs or the trailing cable from the 1st slave GEB...

"2 Visits 2.94% wallacetown gate end box"
Over the last two manufacturer's of GEB's, Wallacetown and B&F I much preferred the B&F brand, Wecol had some bad designs, their Vacutac contactor coils were a weak link that caused us some problems at Boulby mine and yet worked very well in cool mines, I didn't like all the modules in the A67's and A69's, unlike B&F who kept all the control circuits in a "suitcase" that could be pulled and replaced in minutes, saving downtime. In the Wecol, you had to isolate the fault to a module, increasing breakdown time, and if it was the E/L module, took over half an hour to replace, not good if the trunk conveyor system of a high production mine is standing!

I don't know about today, but back in the mid 70's you stayed at B&B's or like some of my mates, rented a flat and shared with a couple of mates until there was a council house allotted or buy a house. My ex refused to let me do that, so turned the job down, they came up with a council house very fast, one week I think, so we moved into a council house and I started work on the Monday after that weekend.

You'd need a decompression chamber for the "deep sea" miners.... ;D
Being flippant, don't see what this "surfer" was looking for, if a shaft is water filled then the workings must also be flooded, unless the onset was sealed well before the shaft was abandoned...

"9 Visits 9.09% cotgrave colliery deep"
I wonder if the person making the search meant "deep hard" as in seam??
If so, the Deep Hard seam was the second seam Cotgrave worked after abandoning the Deep Soft seam due to very adverse conditions... Deep Hard coal was worked for many years at that Colliery, and they also worked the Parkgate, (Piper) and Blackshale was the lowest seam worked.

Its probably unlikely. I know Wistow, Stillingfleet and Riccall shafts were never filled but coming from that area alot of the locals were hostile to mining, cant see the council allowing it. Besides all around Selby is very flat with flood issues.
On a side note, part of the origional planning conditions in the 70's were that when mining finishes at each site it is to be returned back to farm land. This screwed with the plans of UK Coal when Selby closed.

"3 Visits 3.03% selby coalfield to reopen" Can anyone add anything to this one???As my Grannie used to say; "You can't smoke an unlit Woodbine" or was it "There's no smoke without fire"? UK Coal Ltd did have plans for the North Selby Mine, I believe there was some discussion and at least tentative enquiries made regarding planning permissions etc .............. but for the surface site to be used as a complex based on a some kind of incineration of industrial waste providing energy directly rather than underground coal production. The initial concept was in conjunction with the Peel Enviroment company, I'm not sure how they intended using the energy produced but I believe it was to be used within its own complex somehow. I wonder if this is where the idea of reopening the Selby mines came from?

This screwed with the plans of UK Coal when Selby closed. I live very close to the Selby complex so have done a bit of research on it. The original planning condition was that the sites were cleared and returned back to farmland within 12 months of closing. Whilst the headgear has gone and the shafts capped/filled, the rest is still there, derelict. Wonder why the sites never got totally cleared?..... I thought the shafts had been filled. Sure i've read that somewhere. Maybe not. I think Stillingfleet has a gas harvester there so the shaft would be left capped but not filled?

Post by Wheldale on Dec 20, 2012 18:18:36 GMT -5
North Selby and Whitemoor shafts were filled. The others were not as the shafts were constructed with a lifespan of 150 years I think so the coal authority allowed them to be capped. Apparently this has been allowed at a few sites around the country.
Stillingfleet does harvest the methane from its shafts. I reckon the sites have been left how they are for money reasons. I reckon myself UK Coal accelerated the closure of the complex so they could profit from the land each site had. Then Selby council stepped in and said the buildings have to be used for mining or cleared and returned to farm land. It will be cheaper for the buildings to stand. How much is an acre of farm land worth compared to a acre of buisness park?
On the question of selby opening again, Dick the Coal said on a different thread on here there are around 10 seams of workable coal. Maybe when the lights go out Selby will be a quick way of producing coal?

"1 Visit 1.06% use of safety lamp in mining"
It started off as a safe means of lighting for the miner, eventually replaced by electric lighting. It was then used as a means of gas testing, taking methane level readings underground, monitoring for low oxygen levels, ie blackdamp. It has largely been replaced in mining with multi gas electronic instruments.

The only place I tested and signed for shotfiring batteries was at British Gypsum, they were the Beethoven and Shafler (sp) 100 shot batteries.... As you say, a boring job.. That platinum iridium wire was damned expensive though!! We kept that under lock and key at all times..
I recall one shotfirer complaining one of the Beethoven's was causing misfires, I tested that one double and it never missed a test.... I found out later the shotfirer was firing around 300 shots, about 5 headings!!! We used Bord and Pillar as the method of mining gypsum, each heading was fired in the solid with delay dets, using 80lbs of ICI Triminite(sp) to fire around 80 tons of gypsum.

I realise the system will only recognise the keywords and can't read the poster's mind, but to read some of the keywords being searched for repeatedly is almost frustrating, there's a great deal of knowledge within this forum's varied experience that could probably provide a valid answer, if only there was valid question, pity really.

Why I'm adding the Keyword data is to keep us at the "top of the tree" with search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing etc...
