splicing a conveyor belt at MINExpo, Las Vegas!

摘要

The 28~(th) Coaltrans show, held in Prague last month, played out against the backdrop of recent dramatic changes in the international financial climate. Many presentations that had been prepared in the run up to the event seemed slightly out-of-date, as cautious predictions of some future financial problems now appear somewhat understated, Some even observed that negative events seem to occur every time the event is held in Prague: the last time it was held there fell soon after the events of 11 September 2001. This seemed an unfortunate association for what is otherwise such a captivating and beautiful city.
