This citation summarizes a one-page announcement of technology available for utilization. In order to reduce the exposure of diesel vehicle operators to diesel exhaust generated during mucking in deadend drifts, diesel engine exhaust was directed upward and rearward thereby using the thermal buoyancy of the hot exhaust to form a layer at the roof, above the breathing zone of the vehicle operator. On most load machines, the diesel engine's exhaust outlet is located near the floor so that hot exhaust rises into the vehicle operator's breathing zone. ...FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Contact: Dr. George H.
