  "term": "Crut",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A mine roadway, drift, or tunnel that is driven through barren rock, or strata, to connect different coal seams or to access a seam from the main shaft. Unlike a heading driven within the coal seam itself, a crut does not produce coal and its excavation is purely for development and access. The term is primarily used in British coal mining terminology, where it is synonymous with a cross-measure drift.",
