Effect of Vacuum on Oil Wells

Description: From Introduction: "Because of the above reasons, because there is a dearth of published information relating to the effect of vacuum oil wells, and because misapplication of vacuum may result in a greatly decreased ultimate recovery of oil, whereas the correct application may have the opposite effect, the Bureau of Mines has authorized this investigation."

Gases that Occur in Metal Mines

Description: From Conclusions: "Many gases are harmful to man are widely prevalent in metal mines. They influence the safety, health and efficiency of miners; workers and officials should therefore become much more familiar with there occurrence, detection, and handling. The principal means of combating these gases are proper ventilation of all parts of a mine and the adoption of measures to minimize fire hazards and to control a mine fire promptly should it occur."

The Ignition of Fire Damp by Explosives: A Study of the Process of Ignition by the Schlieren Method

Description: From Introduction: "The rupture of this paper by the explosion provided by the explosion provided rapid release for the pressure developed. The charge of explosive was placed in the bore of a cannon communicating with the gallery through a central hole in the steel plate. The apparatus is shown in Figures 1 and 2, which are reproduced from Perrott and Gawthrop's paper. In the event of a nonignition the flame from the explosive only was recorded."
