new INSTRUMENT
WILLSAVELWES
Geophone Will Be Boon to
Entrapped Miners; Will
Lessen Danger
CAN BE HEARD
THROUGH SOLID COAL

WASHINGTON. Aug. 10 Omitted
Press) announcement of the in
ventlon of a new instrument to save
the lives of entombed miners has
just been made by the Bureau Of
Mines.
The geophone, an instrument
used in the World War by the
French to detect military mine and
tunnel construction by the enemy
will enable rescuers TO locate the
entombed miners by the hammer
ing of picks. or the sound of the
human voice, either Of which may
be heard through walls Of earth by
means OF the new device.
Exhaustive tests have been made
by the bureau experimental mine
near Pittsburgh. Penn, demonstrat-
ing that human voices may be heard
with the instrument through $50 feet
of solid coal; blows with sledge on
the face Of the coal at a distance OF
$50 feet. and the slightest rap of the
knuckles on a suspended pipe line,
at more than 1900 feet.
Tests made by the bureau in Pitts
burgh show that another use for the
instrument will be the location OF
leaks in city water mains. The loca-
ton OF a leak in one OF the Pitts
burgh mains at busy corner proved
that the circulation OF water could
be heard from 10 to Is feet below
the street. Leaks that baffied the
water company for weeks were cas-
fly located by the geophone.
Beside the use as means OF pro-
lection of life in the mines the geo
phone has proved It's usefulness in
mine surveying. Two tunnels being
brought together can be observed by
the instrument and their relative po-
sitions determined. Being very often
necessary TO blast in the mines, the
proximity of other miners may be
determined and warnings sent 10
those in the danger zone, the an
nouncement said.
Location of lost diamond bits.
used in drilling, will be another Of
the valuable assets OF the instru-
ment. These bits usually drift from
the straight course and their loca-
ton by the instrument will prove a
great saving as compared with the
more costly and time-Wasuhs
methods used heretofore.
Il was stated by the bureau that
the aeophone has proven its advan-
tages for mine rescue to such an eH-
tent that they have been placed IN
all the mine rescue cars.
