Hi Graham and others,
Try the scanned version from the Univ of Wisconsin that is available
through Google Books -- the photos look excellent.
Cut and paste the following link, or just go to Google Books and
search for it by title or author.
Yrs,
Bob Murowchick

A contributor to Aditnow brought the book by Lucius W. Mayer, "Mining
Methods in Europe," Hill Publishing CO. NY 1909 to my attention
recently as there was a chapter in it (XIV) on the Oakeley Slate
Quarry. Of particular interest to me is the illustration on page 80
(Fig 60) showing a water balance incline. Sadly the scan of the book
(available in the Openlibrary) although good for the text and line
drawings, is very poor when it comes to reproduction of the
photographs. Is there anyone on the list who has a copy of the
original book and can tell me whether the original illustration is any
better ?
Many thanks
Graham Isherwood
