ConveyorScience
ConveyorScience was first registered as a Tradename in Colorado USA, in 2000.  A website with the same name is used to "house" historical and archived papers and researh in conveyor technology generated by Dr. A. Harrison.  

Dr. A. Harrison is an INDEPENDENT Professionally Registered mechanical engineering Consultant, providing the mining industry with expertise in conveyor science.   Collaboration on research and consulting projects with The University of Newcastle, TUNRA Bulk Solids is available.   This website contains links to published new research in conveyor technology.
