This report summarizes work sponsored by the Bureau of Mines in the development of a remote operating system (ROS) for controlling a thin-seam continuous miner (TSCM) 500 feet or more distant from the extraction face. Details are provided on ROS subsystems including the continuous miner, video equipment, controls and displays , the electronic control system, and the operator station.
