Recent Developments in Austin 

 Earth Handling Machinery 



The New Era Elevating Grader 



for over fifty years the leader and pioneer for economical earth handling, 

 has advanced still higher in the estimation of practical earth handling 

 contractors by its recent improvements. 



1. The Austin reversible earth deflector. 



2. The Austin roller bearing disc plow. 



3. The Austin automatic sand pan cleaner. 



The Austin Automatic Sand Pan Cleaner has 

 solved the trouble and saved the delay and 

 wear from adhering earth in the sand pan. 



Our illustration explains its simplicity and 

 effectiveness. 



This feature consists of an endless sprocket 

 chain provided with scrapers, the same trav- 

 eling slowly from end to end of the sand pan 

 over suitable sprocket wheels, shafts and 

 idlers; the chain being driven from a 

 sprocket attached to the rear axle of the 

 machine. (It will be seen that the chain 

 traveling through this space not only pre- 

 vents the earth from packing but that the 

 scrapers on the chain remove it.)
