Description: | Tin-streaming sites could extract the finest-grained tin from the deposits around Camborne and Redruth through the use of frames such as the one shown. This machine, of about 1906, allowed the suspended tin-bearing particles to be separated from the waste by exploiting differences in density. | Subjects: | Machine Machinery Tin Mine Industry Engineering And Technology | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Williams, P | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
