| Title | Gravel Mining |
| Description | To mine raw aggregate from the Brett gravel pit, the contractor used a 7-yard electric shovel to load the material onto a conveyor belt while a dragline above loosened the sand and gravel from the face of the cut. As shovels below loaded 12-yard trucks and 24-yard LeTourneau cat buggies a dragline would trim the 190-foot high banks above to keep the slope at a 1:1 ratio.(CBPH VII, 138) |
