Scope and Content Instrument panel in Fanhouse, Bilston Glen Colliery, Midlothian Bilston Glen Colliery, one of five super-pits opened by the brand new National Coal Board, was begun in 1952. Sinking was completed in 1963 and production peaked in 1970 when a workforce of 2,367 produced 4,000 tons of coal per day. It was closed in 1989. This instrument panel shows the fan-unit's pressure, and monitors the temperatures of its bearings and gearboxes. The fan forces fresh air into the underground workings.
