The experimentation has been carried so far that there is confidence now that the new instrument, together with the use of charts. prepared, will make it possible to foretell possible rockburs\s and so allow measures to be taken to make it certain that no lives wiill he lost in the section of the wme where the ‘rockbursts are forecast.
