SHOULD BE MADE THEIR FULL SIZE AND WITH BANKS SLOPED AND DRESSED."

- OUR FULL LINE COMPRISES 



This quotation from an 

 elaborate article on ditch work 

 by an engineer and contractor 

 of long experience, is only one of 

 several statements in which the 

 author insists on the necessity 

 and economy of sloped and 

 dressed banks. They prevent 

 caving and sloughing, they re- 

 duce erosion by rain and frost, 

 they give a smoother conduit, 

 and therefore increased flow, 

 they permit lining to be placed 

 easily and cheaply. 



The Austin Drainage Excavator 



is the only machine which digs a ditch 

 of any ordinary cross section to temp- 

 let with sloping sides complete in one 

 operation.
