Lost a drill hole recently? / R. Tervo and R. Tirrul, Mining Research Centre. : M38-8/128E-PDF

“Spotting a drill hole and making the necessary calculations for it to hit target is easily enough done but all too often that hole can go astray in the drilling and many expensive, frustrating and sometimes fruitless hours can be spent looking for it. Until recent years the only way of locating the hole was by listening for the sound of the bit in the target area. At best never a reliable method. Then an inventive team at Inco perfected an electromagnetic hole finder that depending on strength, can locate holes several hundred feet away. Requests from various mines for information on the subject have come into the Mines Branch at Ottawa and a team of research scientists, R. Tervo and L. Tirrul were 'assigned to the case’. The following is a description of their findings on the hole finder and a complete and thorough explanation of its working. A do-it-yourself kind of operation that could prove to be manna from heaven for frustrated drill captains everywhere"--p. 58.
