Geophysical techniques See also abstract: 1953. 2131 ANONYMOUS Hero--de roof-straln indicator helps Judge safety of bolted coal mine roof. COAL AGE, V79, NS, MAY, 1973,134P. a simple yet accurate indicating device has been developed, by the Bureau of Mines' DenveT Mining Research Centre, which measures the horizontal roof strain which accompanies the roof sag preceding a roof fall. The article describes T/lis device which is based on the concept that the horizontal distance between a pair of roof bolts~ which are installed as part of the regular support, will neccessarily increase as the roof sags, ard that increasing roof sag leads ultimately to a roof fall. The device may be made easily in the workshop, diagrams 8re included.

Subjects peripheral to rock mechanics 2134 BROOK, N UNIV. Tk~W~S,GB second international symposium on Jet cutting technology I 2nd-4th April 1974, Cambridge.4F. MIN.MAG.VI30, NS, 1974, P367- 371. A short review of the syn:posit~n suggests that with such rapid progress beirg made over the last two years, particularly from experimental field studies, the next few years should see a n t ~ e r of different machines using water Jets for part if not all of the work excavating • rock or m i ~ a l . Short discussions on the most promising lines are presented and include oil well drilling, coal mining and small hole drilling.

Presentation and interpretation of data 2132 WIATR, I STENZEL, P Application of factor analysis to classification of emglneering- geological environments. 7F,12R. J. INT. ASSOC .MATH.GEOLOGY, V6, N1,1974, P17-31. The ergineerirg - geological envlrorm~ntj as ar~ other geological environmentj can be described by a number of variables. A clustering of these variables, or clustering of their quantities ma/~es it possible to divide the environment into taxonc~Ic types. It is also possible to determine factors which are functions of those variables and which characterise the environmentcr its parts. In this paper R and Q-mode factor analysis is applied to englneering-geological research~ with special attention being paid to establishing criteria for subdividing an environment into various aspects by its engineering - geological characteristics. 2133 C
