Excavateurs Bucyrus : livres - histoire et modèles

Bucyrus Heavy Equipment: Construction and Mining Machines 1880-2008

Avec un riche patrimoine remontant à 128 ans, en 1880, le nom Bucyrus, sous toutes ses formes, est devenu synonyme de terrassement. Du plus petit chargeur-pelleteuse à certaines des plus grandes machines jamais à circuler sur terre, aucune autre entreprise n'a produit une gamme aussi large de types et de tailles d'équipements d'excavation.
Rien ne pourrait mieux décrire ce géant de la fabrication que son slogan des années 1960 - "La plus longue ligne sur Terre".

Plus de 450 photos spectaculaires en noir et blanc, accompagnées de légendes détaillées, relatent et décrivent toutes les principales gammes de produits d'équipement de la société Bucyrus, Erie Steam Shovel, Bucyrus-Erie et Ruston-Bucyrus.
Chaque modèle de machine des importantes gammes d'excavatrices à câble, d'excavatrices hydrauliques, de dragues automotrices, de pelles à écorcer et de foreuses est inclus, ainsi que des tableaux présentant les introductions de machines et la production. Il y a également une couverture détaillée des dragues flottantes, du matériel de tracteur, des grues, des excavatrices à godets et d'autres machines spéciales.

Ce livre est sûr de satisfaire autant l'historien sérieux de l'équipement que l'amateur.

Bucyrus Drills: Drilling the Earth for 75 Years By: "Lang, David"

The production of coal, iron, copper, and other minerals has always presented a need for blasting and associated blast holes. Likewise, the blossoming of housing in America has demanded a continual need for water wells for a growing rural population.
Bucyrus International, Inc. (formerly Bucyrus-Erie Company) has been a traditional supplier of the tools to meet that need, a pioneer of the blast hole drilling effort since the Bucyrus purchase of the Armstrong Drill Company in 1933. Churn drills of that era eventually gave way to rotary blast hole drills in 1952.

This book recounts the history of drilling, early manufacturers of drilling equipment, the emergence of drilling methods, rigs, drill bits, and the role of Bucyrus in furthering the science and art of water well and blast hole drilling.
While tracing the rich heritage of over 75 years of Bucyrus drill production terminology, explosives, hole size, and machinery design features are addressed. The production and use of over 11,600 churn drills, 42 jet piercer drills, and over 1,376 rotary blast hole drills are portrayed in vivid photography from the Bucyrus archives.
