When GE was great, they produced this ~1927 silent movie about how mining was done in the early 20th century.
Dave outstanding movie .However note the Flat veins are common to the Northern area such as Pittston Scranton an Wilkes Barre also Harmony .South of these areas the mining Is pItch Mining any where from45 dgrees to Vertical .No mechanical machines are used to mine the coal .jack
