The material excavated from the ditch must be de- 

 posited far enough away from the edge not to work or 

 slide back and not to bring a caving pressure on the edge 

 of the ditch. 



The Austin Drainage Excavator does all of these 

 things and by delivering the earth at a distance from the 

 edge of the ditch insures a berm of practically any desired 

 width, thus insuring that the waste banks will never be 

 returned to the ditch by erosion nor will the banks cave 

 as is the case when torn up by dipped dredges that can 

 deliver the waste banks only immediately adjacent to 

 the ditch. 



The F. C. Austin Drainage Excavator Co. also manu- 

 factures the Austin Levee Builder, a machine which takes 

 dirt from low grounds and places it in an embankment. 

 Then there is the combined levee and ditch excavating 

 machine, the Austin Dragline Excavator, which has an 

 even wider range of usefulness than the steam shovel. 



Another wonderful machine is the Austin Stiff Leg 

 Drag Line Trench machine, intended for digging extra 

 wide trenches for large brick or cement sewers. This 

 will make a cut of twenty-five wide and twenty-five or 

 more feet deep, loading the dirt into wagons or cars. At 

 the depth of fifteen feet it will deposit the dirt on both 

 banks. 



The Austin Tile Ditching Machine is the only ma- 

 chine that will dig trenches for tile in materials of all 

 kinds. It digs 12, 15 and 18 inches wide and to a depth 

 of six feet at the rate of 3,000 to 5,000 lineal feet per day. 

 This machine can be transported over the ordinary roads 

 from job to job at the rate of two miles per hour. 



The Austin Sewer Excavator is a machine that will 

 do more and better work on city streets than can be done 

 by from 100 to 150 men digging with pick and shovel. It 

 does better work because the trench is cut to grade, leav- 

 ing the walls true and as straight as the engineer's tape line. 

 Deep digging does not decrease the output to any great 

 extent, while with hand labor the deeper the trench and the 

 harder the material the greater becomes the cost. 



All of the machines described above are self-propell- 

 ing and when equipped with an Austin Rolling Traction 

 Platform will ride on any material that does not require 

 a boat to cross.
