STANDARDIZATION OF CONTROLS FOR UNDERGROUND ELECTRIC FACE EQUIPMENT. APPENDIX 2. TROLLEY MINE LOCOMOTIVES

The appendix includes recommendations for the standardization of controls on trolley mine locomotives. It is intended to be used in conjunction with the Final Report (BuMines OFR 45(1)-75; PB-242 562). The primary purpose of the effort was to reduce human error and accidents associated with the on-site operation of trolley mine locomotives.
