  • the forward end of the transfer subsection 37 has its track portions level with the track portions 32, 33 of the supporting frame 30 while the rearward portion thereof connects with the level of the tunnel tracks 17, 19. .
  • the transfer subsection 37 rests slidably on the tunnel haulage tracks 17-19.
  • the track section 22 has rearwardly thereon supporting planes 35 aligned with the track portions 32, 33 from which planes 35 an intermediate subsection 40 extends rearwardly and connects the supporting frame 30 with the transfer subsection 37.
  • the intermediate subsection 40 includes longitudinal girders 41 which are affixed to the track portions 32, 33 of the supporting frame 30 level with the tunnel tracks and extend rearwardly to the forward ends of the side tracks 18, 19 where they are connected by means of chains 56 to the forward edge of the transfer subsection 37.
  • Longitudinal axles 42 extend between the supporting frame 30 and the transfer subsection 37 and are supported on the girders 41 in the central plane of the track portions 32, 33.
  • the rear end faces 50 of the supporting frame 30 rearwardly of the track portions 32, 33 are provided with channels 51 for extension girders 53 of a pair of hydraulic jacks 52, the cxtension girders 53, FIG. being provided with a plurality of transverse longitudinally spaced anchoring holes.
  • the channels 51 are disposed each below one of the rails 43-46, and with the extension girders 53 passing through channels 51, the four power jacks 52 can be braced against the ends of the rails on the side tracks 18, 19.
  • the extension girders 53 are anchored to the end faces 50'of the supporting frame 30 by cross pins 54 inserted into one of the anchoring holes in the extension girders 53.
  • the supporting frame 30 thus can be advanced, which means that the'track section Has a whole is advanced stepwise with respect to the tunnel tracks by using the working stroke of the hydraulic jacks 52 and -one anchoring hole after the other in the extension girders 53.

  • Tracklaying for advancing the tunnel tracks 17-19 is performed while drilling is in progress and this operation is thus performed without time loss while the main working cycle is running.
  • Track is laid in the space 55 cleared from the ties under the rails 43-46 of the intermediate subsection 40.
  • the track portions of the intermediate subsection 40 consisting of the rails 43-46 are swung up about the axles 42 by means of the maneuvering cylinders 48. Obviously such swinging up may be abandoned and track may be laid directly below the intermediate subsection 40, the swinging up, however, offering more convenience.
