It Works Both Ways, Continuously and to Templet 



With an AUSTIN DRAINAGE EXCA- 

 VATOR the removal of the earth is accom- 

 plished by two scraper buckets, which trave 

 back and forth across the ditch, one taking on 

 load while the other is discharging. There is no 

 waste time or motion. Each stroke of tKe 

 bucket-carrying mechanism accom- 

 plishes paying work. 



In a word, the Austin Drainage Excavator 

 does continuous work. The scraper buckets 

 are guided in their motion by a steel guide 

 frame constructed to the exact cross section of 

 the ditch the buckets cannot depart from this 

 guide. This means that the ditch is dug to 

 exact cross section and grade it is dug to 

 templet. 



This excavating and guiding mechanism with 

 its motive power is mounted on a frame on 

 wheels wide enough apart to straddle the ditch 

 By means of portable track, which the ex- 

 cavator itself handles and virtually lays, 

 the Austin Drainage Excavator moves along the 

 ditch in either direction by its own p ower. It 

 will travel across country from ditch to ditch 

 in the same way. 



The Austin Drainage Excavator la the most perfectly worked out ditching machine available 

 today to drainage and irrigation contractors. We prove this statement by records of work done.
