We did have an unusual main conveyor at Whittle on the run to the drift bottom. We called this the 'booster belt'; it was a conveyor with another conveyor inside, the top belts came into contact with each other for several hundred yards with the lower of the pair just inching along a little faster than the top belt. Reasonably successful, in operation for years.
