Abstract
The first all-hydraulic drill introduced in the US began test drilling in a Missouri under round lead mine in mid-1973. Since that time, the hydraulic drill concept has slowly, and sometimes haltingly, come of age. Now, backed by impressive performance records and operator acceptance, hydraulic drills promise to produce a quantum leap in mining efficiency and, sometimes, major changes in mine and quarry engineering.
