Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Oxygen Mine Rescue Apparatus and Physiological Effects on Users
The report deals with rescue apparatus also from the standpoint of an engineer and treats of its practical use in rescue work. During seven years, until January, 1916, Mr. Paul was in charge of the mine rescue operations, the testing of the various types of apparatus, and the selection, for the equipment of the rescue operations of the Bureau of Mines, of those types shown to be best suited for rescue work. His experience has included the supervision of many mine rescue contests in which the apparatus was worn, as well as the per sonal direction of many actual rescue operations following mine dis asters. Thus he has been enabled to discover in actual practice the defects as well as the merits of the various types of apparatus.
