Ah...ye olde coal cutter. The AB Fifteen. I did show the daughter the trick of how to switch it on. I'm sure she is the only 14 year old in the UK that has the skills to switch a cutter on. You never know when such a skill might come in handy.
I was doubtful about the picks in the jib of this particular machine, tiny things they were. I assume 'made up' as perhaps they got the machine without picks? Not what we used at Whittle Colliery anyway.
