(c) Steam jets.—They playinto vertical pipes, fitted to aframe on the top of the upcastshaft. (d) Pumps.—These are a combination of air and water pumps, with suchan arrangement of valves that the air is expelled from the pump when thewater is admitted, and admitted from the mine when the water is expelled. It is thus seen to be an ex-traction method. (e) Fans.—Various formsare used in mines, Guibalsfan being an excellent example(Fig. 109). It consists of
