Excerpt from Excavation: Machinery Methods and Costs; Including a Revision of "Excavating Machinery"

A noteworthy development in the field of excavating machinery has taken place since the publication of the book, Excavating Machinery in 1913. The author has received so many requests for information concerning the more recent types of excavators and the newer uses of older types, that it has seemed desirable to present this work.

The new book embodies some of the material of the former work, but is entirely re-cast and largely re-written. The new text has two general divisions; the first comprising a description of the construction, method and typical cost of Operation of each type of excavator, and the second embodying a comparative study of the efficient and economic use of the different types of machines in the various fields of construction work. The author has endeavored to describe the makes and types of excavators commonly used in all classes of work. He has not attempted to describe or even mention every make of excavator, but every type has been treated in sufficient detail to give a clear idea of its construction and field of work.
