Ventilation of Mines by Walter S. Weeks McGraw Hill Book Company 1926 First Edition
Title: Ventilation of Mines
Author: Walter S. Weeks
Format: Hardcover
Publisher: McGraw Hill Book Company 1926
Edition: First Edition
Size: 6.25 x 9.25 * 228 pages
Synopsis: AI Overview: [This book] is a practical engineering guide originally published in 1926 that explains the scientific laws governing air currents in underground mines. The book bridges the gap between theoretical physics and the everyday operational needs of miners to improve safety, health, and cost efficiency.
Core Technical Content
According to descriptions from Amazon and eBay, the book provides an in-depth look at "every imaginable aspect" of vintage 1920s mining work through several key focus areas:
ā€¢Fundamental Principles: Clear, step-by-step explanations of the physics behind how ventilating currents are produced and controlled.
ā€¢Mechanical Systems: Practical methods and formulas for sizing fans and predicting their performance under various conditions.
ā€¢Air Flow Control: Detailed guidance on the use of regulators and air splits to manage air distribution within complex mine networks.
ā€¢Safety and Health: A strong emphasis on using ventilation to create a safe underground environment by diluting hazardous gases and maintaining air quality.
Target Audience and Format
Originally published by the McGraw-Hill Book Company, the 228-page work was specifically designed for two primary groups:
ā€¢Educational Use: Intended as a foundational text for students in schools and colleges studying mining engineering.
ā€¢Practical Professionals: Developed as a reference for practical mining men and operators to help them evaluate "mine-potential" and navigate real-world constraints.
The book is notable for its extensive use of illustrations, diagrams, and equations to support its technical research.
Overall Condition: Acceptable: The book has obvious wear. It has some wear to the cover, but its integrity is intact. There is no writing in the margins or underlining and highlighting of text, and there are no missing pages or anything that would compromise the legibility or understanding of the text. See images.
Secure shipping bubble-wrapped in a new box.

Just about all the books are USED books. Some have been used more gently than others. Some have been in libraries and have typical library extras. Some are so old and/or interesting that they are being offered for the sake of preservation regardless of the condition they are in. If the condition of the book is very important to you, please feel free to click the 'Ask seller a question' link and I will tell you more.
