Notes: "The Second International Symposium on Mine Mechanization and Automation, June 7-10, 1993 provides a forum for the review and exchange of information on new and emerging techonologies in mine mechanization and automation for improved productivity, reduced costs, and enhanced safety. The symposium addresses most aspects of surface and underground mining in which mechanization and automation may be of interest." Cf. Foreword, p. xiii.

"The sessions cover: Innovatiive mining systems, mechanization and automation of drilling and blasting operations, mechanized rock fragmentation, material handling systems, machine automation and control, computer applications, reliability and maintenance, human factors and safety." cf. Foreword, p. xiii.
