More Loftus Drill Testing

Here we have another type of drill being tested and another photographic record of the event.  The backlash of this automation was that fewer men were required to produce the same (or better) yield and a lot of miners were downgraded (with loss of pay and status) to loaders/drivers or simply made unemployed. Once again does anyone know the type of drill and the name of the miner?
