scow

A device used to a limited extent to load solid blocks of coal. The scow proper is a flat steel plate that is moved underneath the undercut and blocks the coal by means of a hoist and a tail rope. The coal is then wedged down on the scow, and the solid block is hauled 2787 by means of the hoist and a headrope to a delivery point where it is transferred to cars.
