OBSERVATION OF COSMIC RADIATION USING PLATES SENSITIVE TO ELECTRONS

R. Brown, U. Camerini, P. H. Fowler, H. Muirhead,
1949 SovietRxiv: ru-194901.33517

Part I of this article describes the most interesting phenomena produced by charged mesons and detected in observations of cosmic radiation using the new plates. Part II describes a phenomenon that serves as further evidence for the existence of mesons with a mass greater than that of $\pi$ particle…

Double resection, its generalization, and various methods of solution

B. F. Krutoi
1949 SovietRxiv: ru-194901.08038

This article surveys and systematizes methods for solving double resection in geodesy, including the classical Hansen problem and its generalized form. It distinguishes logarithmic procedures from natural formulas intended for arithmometer computation, reviews established approaches such as auxiliar…

Technical and Economic Assessment of Process Complex Layouts on the Surface of Kuzbass Mines (Discussion Paper)

A. T. MARTYNENKO
1949 SovietRxiv: ru-194901.08037

This discussion paper evaluates alternative layouts for mine-surface coal handling complexes in the Kuznetsk Basin, focusing on loading, storage, mechanization, and capital and operating costs. It compares older bunker and trestle arrangements, interconnected bunker and scraper storage schemes, and …

Protection Against Ground Faults in Mine Sectional Networks

R. F. Trofimov
1949 SovietRxiv: ru-194901.08035

This paper examines protection against single-phase ground faults in low-voltage mine section networks, where existing grounding and insulation-monitoring methods are judged inadequate for limiting touch voltage and preventing dangerous double faults. It analyzes fault-current distribution in isolat…

Calculation of Hoisting Ropes Based on Load Factors and End Load

I. A. BALASHEV
1949 SovietRxiv: ru-194901.08033

This paper critiques the prevailing practice of calculating mine hoisting ropes solely from static load and prescribed safety margins, arguing that it does not adequately reflect hoisting height, conveyance type, rope wear, bending, dynamic oscillations, or motor control. It proposes a calculation m…

Analysis of Methods for Determining Expected Gas Emission in Coal Mines

A. F. Karataev
1949 SovietRxiv: ru-194901.08030

This article examines the problem of forecasting methane emission for ventilation design in coal mines of the Kuznetsk Basin, where reliance on gas abundance or neighboring mine data is shown to be unreliable. It critically reviews practical methods for determining seam gas content, including face s…

On a New Type of Breakthrough Drilling Machine

V. N. Leont’ev
1949 SovietRxiv: ru-194901.08029

The article addresses the mechanized driving of coal chutes in thick, steeply dipping Kuzbass seams, where blasting and pneumatic pick methods are slow or unsuitable and existing percussion-rotary machines suffer from drill-rod bending, transport obstruction, and poor coal removal. It analyzes these…
