content: Include photographic images, a diagram, an illustration, and a chart primarily documenting mining work inside American and British tunnels and shafts. The images provide a good representation of what the work environment was like.  There is scaffolding, timbering supports, suspended platforms, and ladders. Workers are shown operating machinery and equipment with electric lamps, electric shovels, and other tools.  Loader trucks, conveyors, car tracks, and carts document the transporting of workers, tools, and coal. Of interest is also the lighting systems shown in some of the images.
