It wasn't Donald Anderson who didn't invent the Anderton Shearer (coal cutter). It was James Anderton who didn't invent it.

Whilst not inventing the Anderton Shearer, he came up with the idea of a 'loader' added to a shearer designed by Anderson Boyes engineering. He thought of the Anderton 'Shearer Loader'!
