Question: Channel Tunnel
I am wondering if you would be able to tell me how to access
information on the Channel Tunnel that runs from England to
France. Specificly I am interested in the machine that was used to
bore out the tunnel. I have done web searches and other such
things but I can't seem to find any information on it. Any help
that you could provide would be appreciated. This is for a
university research assignment which involves creating a primary
resource base like mining that could be used by the blind. I hope
to be able to apply the technology used in the Channel Tunnel to
mining. Any aditional information that you can provide would be
appreciated as well.

Question: military/indusrtial use of caves during the last phase
of World War II.
I'm specially intersted in military/indusrtial use of caves during
the last phase of World War II. During the last phase of the war a
large number of caves were used for industrial purposes. I try to
find out were these caves were and what the purpose was. The most
familiar cave of course is the Ni109 complex in the Kohnstein
massif near Nordhausen.
If anyone has any information on this subject, im wiling to
cooporate in disussions, visits, etc.
Can you help me??
Thanks,
Michel van Best

Souterrains is now also avaiable in Dutch. I'm looking for people
to translate basic lists of words and sentances into French,
German and Spanish. This also in relation to the lexicon. For more
information contact Joep Orbons ()
