Public works . plete line of popular-priced drum mix-ers. Heretofore the Austin mixers havebeen of the cube design the mixing be-ing acomplished without the aid ofblades or paddles, simply by throwingthe batch from plane to plane with aforce varying according to the speed ofrevolution. This necessitated materialsand construction of unusual strength,which naturally would reflect in theprice asked. In the new drum type mixer, recourse CRAWIER DRIVE FORFORDSON TRACTOR The latest development of the BatesMachine & Tractor Co. is a steel crawlerdrive for the Fordson Tractor. It is thesame general construction as the crawl-ers on the Bates Steel Mule. It can beput on in the field in about an hourstime as it is not necessary to drill asingle hole or alter the tractor in anyway. The drawbar pull of the Fordsonis greatly increased on soft ground orsandy soil due to the grip of the crawlertraction. Dynamometer tests show anincrease in drawbar horse-power on softground ranging from 25 to 60 per 112 is had to the customary elevating me-chanism of the interior. The conse-quent freedom from unusual strainsaves on construction cost and meetsthe demand for a moderately-pricedmixer, equal to every ordinary requi-site in the way of volume, rate andquality of output, working life, lowmaintenance cost, and manageability.
