The trucks were used to carrytools and equipment both ways, savingfreight charges and considerable trailers, in addition to hauling sur-face material, carried the portable fur-naces and heating material. Both of the dump trucks are built withsheet steel bodies of special design, butthey are elevated by the standard Whitepower dumping mechanism, which allowsan angle of 45 degrees. The bodies are11 feet long, G feet wide, and IS inchesdeep, having a capacity of 100 cubic paving material weighs about 100pounds to the cubic foot, making a fullload exactly 5 tons. The 3,000-poundtruck is fitted with a regular stake plat-form \\HIT1-: III ?-tun truik in iisi by Wiirnn iirotlnrs Compinnj. Boston. Mass. With several jobs in progress at thesame time the utmost reliability is de-manded of the trucks. It is apparent,therefore, that losses of time which areinseparable from any animal installation,mean a considerable loss of money.
