Stanley James, M.E. The chief object of this small treatise is to afford some assist- ance to candidates for Colliery Managers' Certificates of Competency, both first and second class. The principles involved have been first worked out in a general form, and afterwards numerical examples have been taken, the calculations of which have been fully worked out so as to make them intel- ligible to those who may not possess much knowledge of algebra.
