Shovel Production: Cut Height & Swing Angle Effects

This document contains two tables. The first table shows that shovel production, represented as a percentage of optimum depth, decreases as the angle of swing increases and as the percentage of optimum depth decreases. The second table lists typical cycle element times for common steps in the shovel loading process, such as loading the bucket, swinging with load, dumping load, and returning swing.
