When did they drop the caunch using this method? One the face was filled off and the bumpers moved everything forward the entrance to the face would be closed off would it not, as the caunch would be down? (no ventilation along the face until it was shifted CH4 etc)

It would also be difficult to turn and remove the cutter with the belt drive in place, this supposes that undercutting was part of the process it may well have been hewed.
