Bucyrus Heavy Equipment: Construction and Mining Machines 1880-2008

Con una rica herencia que se remonta 128 años atrás, hasta 1880, el nombre Bucyrus, en todas sus manifestaciones, se ha convertido en sinónimo de mover tierra. Desde la más pequeña cargadora-retrocargadora hasta algunas de las máquinas más grandes que jamás hayan existido en la tierra, ninguna otra compañía ha producido una variedad tan amplia de tipos y tamaños de equipos de excavación.
Nada podría ser más apropiado para describir a esta potencia manufacturera que su eslogan de la década de 1960: "La Línea Más Larga del Mundo."

Más de 450 espectaculares fotos en blanco y negro combinadas con leyendas detalladas documentan y describen todas las principales líneas de productos de equipos de la empresa Bucyrus, Erie Steam Shovel, Bucyrus-Erie y Ruston-Bucyrus.
Cada modelo de máquina de las amplias líneas de excavadoras de cable, excavadoras hidráulicas, dragalinas sobre orugas, palas de desmonte y perforadoras están incluidos, además de tablas de introducción y producción de máquinas. También hay una cobertura detallada de dragas flotantes, equipos de tractor, grúas, excavadoras de rueda de cangilones y otras máquinas especiales.

Este libro seguramente satisfará tanto al historiador serio de equipos como al entusiasta.

Bucyrus Drills: Drilling the Earth for 75 Years By: "Lang, David"

The production of coal, iron, copper, and other minerals has always presented a need for blasting and associated blast holes. Likewise, the blossoming of housing in America has demanded a continual need for water wells for a growing rural population.
Bucyrus International, Inc. (formerly Bucyrus-Erie Company) has been a traditional supplier of the tools to meet that need, a pioneer of the blast hole drilling effort since the Bucyrus purchase of the Armstrong Drill Company in 1933. Churn drills of that era eventually gave way to rotary blast hole drills in 1952.

This book recounts the history of drilling, early manufacturers of drilling equipment, the emergence of drilling methods, rigs, drill bits, and the role of Bucyrus in furthering the science and art of water well and blast hole drilling.
While tracing the rich heritage of over 75 years of Bucyrus drill production terminology, explosives, hole size, and machinery design features are addressed. The production and use of over 11,600 churn drills, 42 jet piercer drills, and over 1,376 rotary blast hole drills are portrayed in vivid photography from the Bucyrus archives.
