. Machinery for metalliferous mines : a practical treatise for mining engineers, metallurgists and managers of mines. fthe hand-wheel and rod (;«)at the head of the motion of this lowershaft is communicated by thebevel gear to the worm (z)which in turn gives a slowrevolution to the worm gear(l) on shaft of roller (b^)around which the endlessapron plies. The effect ofthe revolution or worm gear(l) with its attached roller(b^) is to give a slow travelupward of the rubber apron(e) on which the concentra-tion is effected, while at thesame time the eccentrics onthe driving shaft give theupper surface of the belt,through its supporting frame,a rapid but steady vibratoryor shaking motion. The belthas therefore two motions:a slow forward motion, anda rapid vibratory motion, theeffects of which will be ex-plained later. The endless travellingbelt is kept in position belowby the three fixed rollersb), c, b), of which c serves as a tightener, and in part as a regu-lator of the travel of the broad belt in keeping it straight on theshaking frame above. This latter object is also served at need by the. THE EMBREY CONCENTRATOR. 341
