THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



THIS CUT is a reproduction of a photograph of Type "A" AUSTIN 

 DRAINAGE EXCAVATOR, operated by gasoline engine, 

 cutting a ditch with an 18 ft. bottom, 1 to 1 slope. Note the Roller Platform 

 Traction, which requires no track upon which to travel. Each traction has 

 81 sq. ft. of surface, and the units or panels making up the complete traction 

 are so connected that the load is distributed over a multiplicity of units, 

 hence there is no danger of miring in soft ground. It is also arranged to 

 work on short curves.
