 EXCAVATING MACHINES 



Austin Drainage Excavators have been adopted for the construction of the great Antelope Valley Conduit for 

 the Los Angeles water supply. 



THE AUSTIN DRAINAGE EXCAVATOR got its position on this work by the sheer force of its ability to do 



what no other ditching machine can do dig in 

 one operation a ditch true to line and grade with 

 banks inclined to any slope and the natural soil 

 cut exactly to the engineer's profile and not an 

 inch beyond. The tin concrete lining adopted 

 by the engineers had to have the firmest possible 

 foundation; in a word, the natural firm soil ought 

 not to be disturbed a particle beyond the de- 

 signed excavation line of the channel. The 

 Austin Drainage Excavator, with scraper 

 buckets working to templet, guaranteed this 

 condition without supplementary filling or trim- 

 ming. It also guaranteed a channel true to line 

 and grade, and, finally, it was a dry-land mach- 

 ine, requiring no water but boiler water, an im- 

 portant feature in work across miles of arid 

 plain. As an arid land ditcher for irrigation 

 work the Austin Drainage Excavator has incon- 

 testable advantages over any other method of 

 ditching. For reclaiming swamp and overflow 

 lands by drainage the Austin Drainage Excavator 

 has proved its superiority by scores of com- 

 pleted jobs. 



N. B. Many railroad contractors are finding 

 drainage and Irrigation work with Austin Drain- 

 age Excavators a profitable occupation for the 

 slack season in railway construction.
