Overview

Excerpt from North of England Institute of Mining and Mechanical Engineers, Vol. 25: Transactions, 1875-76 The paper of Messrs. Henry Hall and George Clark On the Me chamical Effect of Blown-out Shots on Ventilation is a most interesting communication, opening out a subject requiring the most serious cousi deration of all connected with mining, and one the study of which your Council consider it is most peculiarly the province of the Institute to foster. Communications of this nature may be said to lead the way in progressively increasing the safety of mines which was the object more particularly contemplated on the formation of this Society. Some recent explosions having occurred under circumstances and in Situations where the possibility of such a disaster could not have been anticipated, have led many to seek their causes in conditions other than the presence of gas in the pit, and a theory has been advanced in some transactions published by the Royal Society as to whether with certain combinations and under certain phases the fire dust, which in many pits is exceedingly abundant, is not itself explosive when diffused into the workings by blown-out shots or other circumstances. These matters are occupying earnest attention, and the Council are glad to report that the subject is being taken up by members who will soon place the results of a series of experiments before the members.
