Operators stationed safely in the center. Front wheel drive for traction on soft, uneven bottom.
	Joy 7-AU Track Universal Coal Cutter Having a long reach, the 7-AU will cut and shear room necks from straight track, allowing a more practical use of caterpillar-mounted loading machines. It keeps an approximately square face and straight rib for faster mechanical loading, and two cuts can be made with one track laying. The 7-AU will top-cut, center-cut, bottom-cute, rib-shear, center-shear, angel-shear, slab-cut or slab-shear anywhere in the seam; also has a bar tilt and roll. Two motors, a 50 HP cutter-chain motor, and a 26 HP motor for tramming and operating the hydraulic pump, afford ample power.
	11-RU for Thin Seams Trackless Universal Coal Cutter Only 30" high, this highly maneuverable, fast tramming machine cuts a 30' room from 10" below bottom to 6'4" above, with a 6" kerf. Cutting feed at end of 9' bar (variable) is 0 to 70 ft./min. Turning radius, 14'6".
Joy Shortwall Cutters
	7-B Heavy Duty Cutting capacity of the 7-B is greater than that of modern loading units, thus avoiding delays in the operating cycle. Short overall length for close timbering; tapered front for full sump cut and straight rib; variable feed control; drum retarding friction controls; drop-out type cutter chain clutch. The 7-B has complete splash lubrication; anti-friction bearings at all load bearing points. Slow speed, heavy duty 50 HP motor. Cuttings discharge at the rear.

	Mine Fire Truck Delay in fighting a mine fire may be disastrous, often resulting in the sealing of a mine or section which is a hazardous and costly operation. The Mine Fire Truck pictured here uses water and could not be used on an electrical fire unless the power is disconnected.

	Bantam High Pressure Rock Dust Distributors This type of rock dust distributor can be used on shuttle car, conveyor or track sections where proper height does not afford a track mine type. With 50 ft. of hose, it is possible to completely dust the entire section.

	Track Mounted Rock Dust Distributor It is an established fact that rock dusting in coal mines, if properly distributed and in amounts great enough to render the coal dust 65% noncombustible, will eliminate all dust explosions and localize all gas explosions. Rock dust should be distributed in every entry, air course room, pillar and along pillar falls. In rooms and entrys that have been stopped, the dusting should extend to the face. In actual works rock dusting should extend at least to within 100 feet of the face. It is desirable that supplies of rock dust be left on each live working section, so that it may be distributed from time to time as the face advances, in addition to the rock dust distributed periodically by rock dusting machines and rock dusting crews.
