two precautions must * e taken. 

 The first is not to disturb the 

 original soil beyond the ditch 

 sides and bottom. The second 

 is to line the ditch with imper- 

 vious material. 



An AUSTIN DRAINAGE EXCA- 

 VATOR carves a ditch from tbe 

 oriutiial soil to exact shape and 

 dimensions clean and smooth 

 so that It can be lined without 

 triiiiminii or shaping and without 

 templets. 



Because of these things, and be- 

 cause it takes out material at a lower 

 unit cost than can any other machine, 

 the Austin Drainage Excavator is the 

 most perfect irrigating ditch machine 

 known. It digs in one operation, to 

 exact templet, a ditch with sloping sides, 

 wide berms, even spoil banks, and true 

 to grade, at a unit cost cheaper than a 

 similar ditch can be dug by any other 

 means.
