the ditch must be dug again. The 

 AUSTIN DRAINAGE EXCAVATOR 

 has been used to redig scores of 

 ditches, but not one of them was a 

 ditch which had been dug originally 

 with an Austin Drainage Excavator. 



A ditch dug by an Austin 

 Drainage Excavator does not fill 

 up by caving. The accompanying 

 picture shows the reason why. The 

 ditch is carved from the solid ground 

 with sloping banks. The berms or 

 spaces between ditch and spoil bank 

 are wide. The spoil banks are evenly 

 distributed on both sides of the ditch. 

 We have many views ol Austin Drain- 

 age Excavator ditches and other 

 ditches after two or three years of 

 service. Send forCatalogue "S" and 

 compare them.
