The })hotos above will afford you a slight idea of what you can do in repairing 

 and reclaiming broken, battered, worn, cuppei-l and guttered track and special 

 work by means of 



The INDIANAPOLIS Portable 



Electric Welder 



The repair work shown in the photographs was done 

 in a^few minutes withaut interrupting traffic and the 

 cost was trifling, amounting to but a few cents worth 

 of current, steel and labor. 



A road frequently tolerates damaged track work 

 rather than undergo the serious disadvantages of 

 torn-up road beds, delayed or re-routed traffic, not 

 to mention the expense of new layouts, lab(>r cost of 

 excavating, laying and re-paving. 



Broken track work need no longer prove a much 

 to be feared "bugbear," however. The Indianapolis 



Portable I-dectric Welder will straighten things 

 (jui ill no lime. 



Tlu- matdiine can be drawn to the desired location 

 and in a few hours )'our l)adly damaged track can be 

 f)uilt u]) b}' means ijf electric welding and ground 

 into snujoth tracti\"e surface, as good as new. 



This machine is equally effective in shop operations. 

 It will reclaim thousands of dollars' worth oi broken 

 car equipment in a year and avoid the necessity of 

 new parts. 

 Investigate it.
