ASME Landmark #212 – EIMCO Rocker Shovel Loader, Model 12B located in nearby Park marvels with the hashtag
City, Utah #ASMELandmarks **

In 1938 the Rocker Shovel Loader was the first successful mining device to replace human
labor in removing the rubble from underground hard-rock blasting.

The Rocker Shovel Loader 12B provided a significant boost to underground mining productivity
by emulating the movements of the human “mucker,” the laborer who removed rubble, or
“muck,” from underground mines, particularly in and narrow mine tunnels. Designed in the late
1930s by Edwin Burt Royle and John Spence Finlay, employees of the Anaconda Mining
Company, the first working machine was called an “overshot loader.” Both men worked for the
North Lilly Mine in Ureka, Utah, in the 1920s and early 1930s. Apparently prior to 1931, their
machine had a heavy bucket attached to a rail car by two moveable rocker arms, and the car
had air-motor powered wheels to push it into the rubble. In 1931, Joseph Rosenblatt of EIMCO,
Salt Lake City, met Royle and Findlay, and shortly thereafter, Royle joined EIMCO as a
consultant and designer. Where the first machine had been constructed from discarded Model
T parts, EIMCO then developed it into the Model 12B that sold thousands.
