SAMSON TURBINE 



When the PUMP cannot be direct connected to 

 the turbine shaft, the power is usually trans- 

 mitted by gears, shafting, etc. On account of 

 the HIGH SPEED of the SAMSON, for a given 

 power, lighter and consequently CHEAPER 

 transmission machinery can be used.

BALL BAND 



If a boot doesn't keep all the 

 water outside it is worse than 

 no boot at all. 



BALLS BAND 



RUBBER FOOTWEAR 



If it doesn't keep the water out 

 for a long time even under hard 

 wear, it is a poor boot. Now, 

 we want you to prove for your- 

 self that boots marked with the 

 Red Ball, the trade-mark of "Ball-Band" Quality, are a satls- 

 fac^ory result of the honest determination to build perfect boots. 

 Ask your dealer what is the best rubber boot he sells. If the 

 dealer doesn't say "Ball-Band," the chances are he doesn't sell 

 "Ball-Band" Rubber Footwear. Over eight million men who 

 wear our boots believe them to be the best boots they can get for 

 their money. If your dealer doesn't sell "Ball-Band" Boots or 

 hasn't your size, write us. 



Look for the "Ball- Band" mark in the store win- 

 dows and on the twots. II the Red Ball is not 

 there you are not buying the boots we make*

High arched frame which gives strength and provides AMPLE CLEARANCE for all angles of blade adjustment. 

 The "FLOATING" type of blade mounted on a ring and so thoroughly BALANCED that it is easily and quickly 



manipulated with one hand. 



It has the pivotal rear axle which sets to prevent skidding on heavy side draft. 

 It has the EXTENSION REAR AXLE which enables it to do the varied work done by our larger graders. No small 



ditcher is competent to do good work without such an axle. 

 It has FOUR wheels which are ESSENTIAL for even work and light draft.
