1901-2014 German Workplace

This project was just as interesting as the one we did before. This time, we focused on the German workplace/industry. I did the slides on mining in Germany. It is always interesting to me how coal mining is done in Germany. The kind of strip mining employed by Germany is very strange when we compare it to what we know in the US. We typically do mountaintop or underground mining for coal, but not strip mining. German engineering also is very unique in the bucket wheel excavators which are used in the coal mining operation. The amount of coal they can mine in one day of operation is almost impossible to picture, but it happens during the business week, every week.

(I guess I never published this last week, sorry about that.)
