[Z] Including time for jacks.

[A] Including bolting time.

[B] Excavating ahead of shield.

[C] Shoving shield into silt with ... doors open.

The average time taken for each operation at all the working faces is given in Table 28. The work has been subdivided into the different kinds of ground encountered.

The progress, as shown by the amount of work done each month by each shield, is given in Table 29.

TABLE 28.--SHIELD-DRIVEN TUNNEL WORK.--TOTAL NUMBER OF RINGS ERECTED AND SHIFTS WORKED BY ALL FOUR SHIELDS IN CONTRACTS GY-WEST AND GJ, AND THE AVERAGE SIZE OF GANG, AMOUNT OF EXCAVATION AND TIME TAKEN PER RING FOR THE VARIOUS OPERATIONS INVOLVED IN BUILDING TUNNEL IN EACH OF THE SEVERAL KINDS OF GROUND ENCOUNTERED; ALSO THE EXTENT AND NATURE OF ALL THE UNAVOIDABLE DELAYS.
