A miner would put his personal crap in these these little compartments before they went down and probably left there miner caps when they left. They had the kind of compartments in Spinghill Novie . Mott's, check out Springhill, Novie, has lots of possibilities for the master.

On top of a coal mine? What could be below.

How majestic and how awful. Many years ago I went on a tour of the coal mine in Springhill Nova Scotia after they had closed it because of a bump in the early fifties. It killed many miners and it was the talk of the day. It never opened again, but they had tours of it by an old coal miner who gave us miners hats and the rest of the garb to keep us safe. The house up above the mine kept the clothes and the mining lamps that they had used on that fateful day and me old lady found it damp, dark , and a experience that we shall never forget 400 ft. below the earth. What a majestic peice of bullshit over such misery. Motts you should do spell it out. What the hell would I do without a pro like you.

Cannot anyone see the coal shoots sending tons of coal down to the laborers who scooped it up to be processed in managable amounts to be distributed.

A gothic cathedral with so many tales.

Used to move tourists on a cable car.
They were originally used to haul coal carts.
Very quite.
Very low RPMs and loads of torque.
My vacuum cleaner makes more noise.
