Mine Ventilation Methods Cited By Engineer
Pittsburgh engineer John D. Kalasky told about 350 mine inspectors in Richmond that adequate safe and economical ventilation is the only way to curb human error in mine ventilation. He said an acceptable system must provide airflow to working places and other parts of the mine and that ventilation equipment adds to costs but safety should not rely on workers alone. He noted great advances in mine ventilation and ongoing improvements.
