I think I got that information from Norman Gemmell & Peter Wardley,
"Output, Productivity and Wages in the British Coal Industry before
1914: A Model with Evidence from the Durham Region" /(Bulletin of
Economic Research/ 48 (1996), pp 209-240) but I haven't got a copy of
the article, or my notes to hand, so apologies to them if I'm wrong. I
certainly read something somewhere which mentioned this point as a
problem in assessing the scale of the coal industry.
