  Church, James C.
• Description:
  The Bureau of Mines devised and demonstrated a portable linear- cutting tester that directly measures and records the in situ cutting forces required of continuous-mining machine picks to cut coal in underground mines. It requires only two operators to transport and operate the tester, which can be assembled and operated through a complete test cycle within a single mine work shift. This report reviews the factors considered in the design and development of the tester and the results of its system verification testing at coal mine sites. Description provided by NIOSH
