So the story goes from the guy with all these hidden treasures is that this is a stamping mill and according to him he had a partner at one time and the orginal mill deteriorated then with some help they rebuilt it. That's what he said anyway. Then something about a mine hole they had covered up whenthis old guy came up seen what they did and had a total fit. That's the way the story went.

I built this quite sometime ago, it was shortly after the first Power Miners sets were released whenever that was.
Anyway those sets inspired me to make this. I have never really built a wheeled vehicle before and I think its decent for a first try, though I will admit the blade on the front looks tacked on.
And a little tid bit you might like to know is the upper chassis is seperate from the axle/wheel assembly.
This dedicated mining dial read directly to 5 min. of arc - shown mounted on gun-metal tripod.
Lighter and more compact than the Hilger & Watts dial.
Much used underground during 1950's.

GHH mining machine underground shovel, when they were introduced in the Monteponi mine, helped to make the work lighter and faster. He wouldn't mind seeing it displayed in a protected area and not exposed to the elements. A machine created to work indoors that ends its "career" outdoors. The most interesting part are the reinforcements made by hand welding along the entire profile of the blade of the shovel. Although not a certainly functional artistic work; this is proof of the mastery and skills that the staff had acquired in working in a mine like this.
Pala da sottosuolo GHH mining machine, quando vennero introdotte nella miniera di Monteponi aiutarono a rendere il lavoro più leggero e veloce. Non sabbe male vederla esposta in una zona protetta e non esposta alle intemperie. Una macchina che nasce per lavorare al chiuso che finisce al sua "carriera" all'aria aperta. La parte più interessante sono i rinforzi realizzati con saldatura a mano lungo tutto il profilo della lama della pala. Seppure non un lavoro artistico sicuramente funzionale; questo a riprova della maestria e delle competenze che il personale aveva acquisito nel lavorare in una miniera come questa.
Early in the history of the mine all of the work was done by hand. The coal was drilled with a hand auger and blasted free. Then scooped up and loaded into a horse-drawn cart to be hauled out. The roof was supported by timbers and posts. If the caged canary stopped singing and died, it gave warning to the miner that the air has started to go bad or that potentially explosive methane was building up.

Again with this one, the quality and focus and zoom and aperture and so forth might not be the greatest, but that just gives it more of that old feeling you would have got with pictures when mining was strife.
Despite the mining industry facing a tough economic climate and regular strike action over the past year, the Department of Mineral Resources has approved 36 new mining licences in the past year. These projects have the potential to create about 6 000 much-needed jobs in the sector, particularly ahead of more job cuts by some of the biggest miners in South Africa.
Falling metal prices and increasing labour costs are just two of the reasons that companies like Lonmin and Harmony will be reducing their workforces. Lonmin announced a planned cut of 10 percent of its labour force, amounting to 3 500 employees, while Harmony has cut more than 5 000 jobs since 2012. Similarly, Last week BHP Billiton announced that it will be simplifying its portfolio by demerging a group of high quality assets to create South32, necessitating a labour reduction.
