Thebroom sweeps the dirt up into an aircurrent which takes it into a box trail-er. This is divided into two compart-ments—one for heavier particles andone for fine dust. The outgoing air isscreened through cloth pockets. Thismachine, which is made for operationon contract only by the Way-CleanseCo., Sandusky, O., was fully describedand illustrated in the August 13 issueof Municipal Journal. The views shown.

The machine is strongly made as theframe is of oak, braced and trussedagainst sagging and warping. Allgears and sprockets are of steel, whichreduces the weight and gives greaterdurability. All the bearings are dustproof and all important bolts are dou-ble nutted or have the nut secured bya cotter-pin. The weight of the sweep-er is about 2,000 pounds. illustrate the dumping of the box-trailer.
