[AT] New tiling rig?

[charlie hill]

Hi H.L.

The mine I mentioned is only about 5 or 6 feet above sea level so water 
control is a big issue.  The mine has to be well pointed with BIG points (8" 
if I remember right)  all around the area that is being worked.  Then that 
water has to be channeled through canals and into ponds and containment 
impounds where it is stored for process water for the manufacturing process, 
then cleaned up and eventually put back into more ponds.  The bucket wheel 
conveyor serves two roles in the process.  It is used to strip off the 
overburden as I mentioned earlier.  The dirt comes out of the bucket wheel 
and goes onto a conveyor system.  The conveyor system moves the dirt to a 
mobile conveyor with a track system similar to the one shown under the 
bucket wheel on the web site (just not as large).   That conveyor travels 
along and deposits the soil into berms such that it builds dikes for canals 
as it goes.

It is a heck of an operation to see!

That machine would make a nice unit for digging potatoes or onions.  Would
have to have the rows widely spaced.

I hope Cecil Monson doesn't go there,  it would cost quite a bit to
transport it home after they gave it to him  ;-)

I think this could make a great tiling machine.
