Dorr rake classifier
A mechanical classifier consisting of an inclined settling tank and a rake-type conveying agitating mechanism. Feed introduced at the low end of the tank flows over a distributing apron toward the high end of the tank. The heavier materials of sand size settle into the rake zone and are raked up the slope and out the tank; slime and finer sands are carried over the rear wall in suspension.

drift
A horizontal gallery driven from one underground working place to another and parallel to the strike of the ore.
