Machinery for metalliferous mines : a practical treatise for mining engineers, metallurgists and managers of mines. f which a short spout, seen in the section, conveysthe mmeral into one or other of the cement channels (g). THE LINKENBACH TABLE. 315 A light iron framework (h h) fixed to the shaft (b) which is drivenby the worm gearing and shafting (k) supports the iron channel (f) aswell as the arms and water sprays (d, e). The supply of clean waterarrives by means of a pipe (c) into the centre of the shaft (b), and thenceto the sprays (e) as well as to an annular spray, which partly surroundsthe buddle head (p) as will be seen by the dots, which are shown onthe right-hand half of the buddle head in fig. 220. The function of thisspray is to drive the lighter mineral matters down the slope of thetable, while that of the others is to wash them off into the channel (f),and so on into the cement channels (g) into the settling tanks (q).Considerable modifications and improvements have been recently madein this machine, more especially in the driving gear and feed apparatus,with a view to Fig. 218.—The Linkenbach Table. The action of the machine is as follows : The slime waters arrivefrom the spitzkastens or classifiers by means of the pipe (n) and arefed into the buddle head (f) from whence they flow through a horizontalslot over the surface of the table immediately behind the arm with foursprays (e) which, as seen in the section, is advancing towards the reader;the arms as seen in the plan, turn to the left, in the reverse way to thehands of a clock, and at a speed of about one revolution in 25 minutes. Thelight sterile slimes immediately rush down the table and over the edge intoone compartment of the revolving channel (f), thence by means of a spoutinto one of the fixed channels (g) and away to the settling tank (q*). The mixed products, however, are deposited on the way ; the lighter i6 MACHINERY FOR METALLIFEROUS MINES. ones near the edge of the
