• Technical Bulletin Pager Phones: Installation
  4/1/1975 - Contract reports
  The pager phones used in many underground coal mines are battery-operated, party-line telephones with provisions for loudspeaker paging. The system is two-wire, non-polarized, and is operated by self-contained batteries. A description of the many teleph...
• Technical Bulletin Pager Phones: Circuit Protection
  1/1/1975 - Contract reports
  Wires leading to or from underground facilities can develop hazardous voltages because of lightning exposure. The locations of many mine portals are particularly susceptible to lightning effects. The application of protective devices to limit this poten...
• Waveform Generator-Package and Receiver: Mancarried and Helicopter Receiver Portion
  11/1/1974 - Contract reports
  The report describes the design and building of 15 mancarried and 5 helicopter receivers that are used for trapped miner location during a mine disaster. Helicopters are equipped with six-channel receivers and used to detect transmitters carried by mine...
