The heads are pivoted and controlled hydraulically for vertical movement. Each head comprises two bores and a frame or loop cutter that trims the bottom, face, and top. A cross conveyor delivers the coal to the adjacent face conveyor. The machine cuts a web of 5 ft (1.5 m) in seams from 37-1/2 in (95 cm) to 5 ft high. With an overall length of 18 ft (5.5 m), it weighs 15 st (13.6 t).
