A cutter loader similar to an Anderton shearer except that the drum is replaced by a frame jib 42 in (107 cm) high and 20 in (51 cm) deep. The machine travels on an armored flexible conveyor at a speed of about 4-1/2 ft/min (1.4 m/min). It cuts a 20-in (51-cm) web on the cutting run, and the plow deflector loads the cut coal onto the conveyor. On the reverse run, the deflector loads all the loose coal left on the track, and the conveyor is snaked over behind the machine. The loader is suitable for mediumthickness seams, and the yield of large coal is good.
