André is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This treatise provides a comprehensive overview of the techniques, tools, and explosive agents used in blasting rocks for industrial purposes. The book addresses the evolution of rock blasting methods, particularly focusing on the transition from hand tools to machine-assisted techniques, and highlights the advancements in explosive materials that enhance safety and efficacy in mining and construction operations. The opening of the treatise begins with a preface explaining the significant changes in rock blasting practices over the past decade due to technological advancements such as machine drills and improved explosives. André outlines the necessity for a detailed exploration of the tools and techniques that have emerged to meet the demands of industrial rock blasting. He emphasizes the importance of strong, efficient explosive agents and the systems for their ignition, with a specific focus on the tools required for boring and blasting operations. This sets the stage for a thorough practical guide to rock blasting, laying a foundation for the detailed information that follows in subsequent chapters.
