Mighty Miner coal cutting machine unveiled in 1940s details
Sherman G. Martin of Dunbar Pennsylvania describes the Mighty Miner, a revolutionary one man coal cutting device weighing under 200 pounds. It uses a carbide tipped auger on a rack driven by an electric motor to undercut coal faces and drop coal with a small above blast. Designer O Wayne Martin says it can operate in seams as narrow as 20 inches and moves between locations by one operator. The unit, 16 inches tall, targets small independent mines and large firms alike, to be marketed by Mighty Miner Company, a Shallway Corp division in Connellsville PA. In social policy news, the piece also covers the Sixty Now retirement campaign to amend Social Security to allow retirement at 60 with $200 monthly benefits plus $100 per dependent, headed by Howard H. Rediger from Toledo, aiming to pressure Congress and raise employment through retirement waves.
