We shoveldirect into the mixer, but later on willadd to our mixer the automatic loader,which will increase its capacity nearly 50per cent. The average time consumed inproducing each batch is 2% minutes, mostof which time is at present taken up withthe loading. Before the adoption of ma-chine mixing, we secured very uniform re-sults by the hand method but at a con-siderably greater cost. Our mixers are ofthe Big-an-Litle type and were furnishedus by The .Jaeger Machinery Company, ofColumbus, Ohio. Noveml>er, ]9I3 MUNICIPAL ENGINEERING 57.
