Industry:Mining
A dragline bucket with a bowl of aluminum alloy covered top and bottom with steel wearing plates. Sides and back are of steel plates, and manganese steel is used for the lip and teeth. This bucket has no arch; thus weight is minimized. The sides are flared, permitting heaped loading, and the bucket dumps backward, not forward, thereby giving a somewhat longer dumping range.

Industry:Mining
A drainage pattern in which streams follow a roughly circular or concentric path along a belt of weak rock, resembling in plan a ringlike pattern. It is best displayed by streams draining a maturely dissected structural dome or basin where erosion has exposed rimming sedimentary strata of greatly varying degrees of hardness, as in the Red Valley, which nearly encircles the domal structure of the Black Hills, SD.
