Title | Manuscript, 'On the influence of coal-dust in colliery explosions. Number 3' by W [William] Galloway |
Creator | Galloway; Sir; William (1840-1927); Scottish mining engineer; industrialist |
Date | 1881 |
Description | Galloway continues with his experiments into the influence of coal dust in colliery explosions, this time using a larger apparatus than the one used in his earlier experiments. He relays details of colliery explosions that took place in Risca, Penygraig [Wales] and Seaham [Durham, England], and explains that 'for the purposes of the present paper I visited Risca Colliery on the 24th of October, and Seaham Colliery on the 24th of November, and I have had the rare opportunity of becoming thoroughly conversant with every circumstance connected with the Penygraig explosion, and with the events which immediately preceded and accompanied its occurrence.'
Annotations in pencil and ink throughout. Includes one page of diagrams relating to colliery explosions.
