DITTMAR V. RIX and ANOTHER. Circuit Court, S
DITTMAR V. RIX AND ANOTHER. Circuit Court, S. D. New York. March 13, 1880. PATENT—COMPOUND MADE BY PATENTED PROCESS.—A patent containing two claims, the one for a certain process set forth, and the other for a certain compound made by the process set forth, is not infringed by the manufacture of a similar compound, not made by the patented process. Motion for preliminary injunction to restrain the infringement of letters patent. Everett P. Wheeler and Clarence Lexow, for plaintiff. George Gifford and Causten Browne, for defendants. BLATCHFORD, J. This is a motion for a preliminary injunction to restrain the infringement of letters patent granted to the plaintiff, January 18, 1870, for an “improvement in explosive compounds.” The specification states that the patentee has invented an explosive agent which he calls “Dualin, and which is to be used instead of other explosive agents, such as powder, gun-cotton, nitro-glycerine, dynamite, etc.” It proceeds: “Dualin is a yellowish brown powder, resembling in appearance Virginia smoking tobacco. It will, if lighted in the open air, burn without exploding; but, if confined, it may be made to explode in the same manner as common 343 powder. It is not sensitive to concussion, will not decompose by itself, not cake or pack together, may be readily filled into cartridges, and it matters not whether the place where it is stored be warm or cold, dry or damp. Dualin has from four to ten times the strength of common powder, and is stronger than dynamite, an improvement on nitro-glycerine. Some of the

1 English 467 Professor Anne Fadiman by Submitting This Essay, I
English 467 Professor Anne Fadiman By submitting this essay, I attest that it is my own work, completed in accordance with University regulations. Paul Gleason Breaking Rock by Paul Gleason Dino pulls a brass plunger, thick as a screwdriver, off his belt and punches a hole in the yellow-tissue-covered stick of dynamite. He then replaces the plunger with a small cylindrical blasting cap. The late October cold makes the Blasting Gelatin stiff, he explains, raising his voice over the sound of shattering rock coming from under Donnie’s drilling machine. If he tried to shove the blasting cap right in, it might break, and if it broke—“all over,” he says, grinning broadly and waving a hand in circles around his face and chest. “Blood and guts all over you.” Together, the blasting cap and dynamite make a charge. The cap connects to an orange “shock tube,” full of a powder that burns at a rate of three miles per second. Several charges linked together make a shot. Dino drops the charge down one of Donnie’s thirteen-foot holes, letting the tube run between his fingers until it goes slack. He picks up the sixteen-foot-tall pole lying on the ground; it has black circles and numbers marking every foot. He steadily lowers it into the hole and taps the dynamite into place. This is the first of eight holes, eight charges that will go off as one shot. Cox Drilling and Blasting, Dino and Donnie’s employer, is one of several companies working at 18 Temple Street, a 200’-by-100’ lot in the middle of downtown Hartford.

Chapter 6 INITIATION
Chapter 6 INITIATION COMPONENTS USED IN ELECTRIC BLASTING The electric power source used to initiate a blast may be a twist or push type generator blasting machine and a remote radio device, a condenser discharge machine, or an AC power line through a blasting switch. Never use batteries directly; only a blasting machine or blasting switch provides the current and time control necessary to prevent cap arcing and misfires. The generator type blasting machine converts the mechanical energy of the blaster’s hand motion into electrical energy and then closes the contacts to the firing circuit when the peak electric energy is generated. A condenser discharge machine uses dry-cell batteries to charge a set of capacitors. When the fire button is pushed, the stored electrical energy in these capacitors is discharged into the firing circuit. The remote detona- tion system can be activated and controlled with the commonly used King radio that has been retrofitted with a dual tone modulated frequency chip (DTMF). The entire remote detonation system allows the blaster-in- charge more flexibility in selecting a location to initiate the blast. No alterations or repairs of an electric blasting machine should be attempted, unless by the manufacturer. Ordinary maintenance by the blaster should be limited to changing the batteries in the condenser discharge type machines and to lubricating the moving parts in the generator type. The LEAD WIRE, or the FIRING LINE as it is sometimes called, connects the power source to the blasting circuit. It should be a two-conductor, insulated, solid copper wire (with exception of the multiconduc- tor cable for a sequential blasting machine) and be at least 14-gauge thickness.

The Mechanization of Haulage Drilling in the Gold Mines of Anglo American Corporation
The mechanization of haulage drilling in the gold mines of Anglo American Corporation by J. w. WILSON*, Ph.D., C.Eng., M.AIME, F.!.Min.E., F.I.M.M. (Fellow), and J. G. TAYLOR*, A.C.S.M., C.Eng., M.!.M.M. (Visitor) SYNOPSIS Some one-thousand kilometres of tunnels are mined annually in the gold mines of South Africa. Until two years ago, mechanized drilling on South African gold mines was not an economic proposition because of the availability of inexpensive labour and the fact that mechanized equipment developed for other mining markets could not per- form satisfactorily in the tough, abrasive quartzites of theWitwatersrand System. A project team from the Technical Development Services Organisation of the Anglo American Corporation, in t collaboration with various manufacturers of drill rigs and drill steel, has been concerned with the development of suitable equipment for mechanized main-haulage drilling. After two-and-a-half years of extensive testing and develop- ment of drifters, drill steels, and bits, many of the problems encountered have been sotved, and gradually jumbos mounting pneumatically and hydraulically powered drifters are being phased into production on various gold mines of the Group. A description of the development work is given, and actual operating results are recorded, together with details of the drilling and blasting techniques used. SAMEVATTING Tonnels met 'n gesamentlike lengte van ongeveer een duisend kilometers word jaarliks in die goudmyne van Suid-Afrika ontgin. Tot twee jaar gelede was gemeganiseerde boorwerk in Suid-Afrikaanse goudmyne nie 'n ekono- miese proposisie nie vanwee die beskikbaarheid van goedkoop arbeid en die feit dat gemeganiseerde uitrusting wat vir ander mynboumarkte ontwikkel is, nie in die harde, skurende kwartsiet van die Witwatersrandstelsel be- vredigende diens gelewer het nie.
