TITLE HEOISTEHEB U. S. PATENT OFFICE 



The Austin Drainage Excavator 



Digs a ditch with sloping sides and smooth bottom 

 in one operation. 



Digs soil containing stone up to the size that will go 

 into the buckets. 



Digs a deep ditch at the same unit cost as a shallow 

 ditch. 



Digs a ditch that can be lined for irrigation without 

 trimming or shaping up of any sort. 



Deposits the soil in even banks with a wide berm 

 between ditch and spoil bank. 



Moves along the work under its own power as fast as 

 the ditch is dug. It will also travel across the country from 

 ditch to ditch. 



THE ECONOMY TO CONTRACTORS in using 

 Austin Drainage and Irrigation Earthwork Machines comes 

 from the fact that each of them is a special machine, de- 

 signed to do one kind of work better and more cheaply than 

 any other machine can do it.
