Excerpt from Excavating Machinery Used for Digging Ditches and Building Levees
Owing to recent economic changes, whereby manual labor has been in a great measure supplemented by skill, it is impossible to carry on large works of any kind without the aid of machinery. This condi tion has stimulated inventors and manufacturers and great progress has been made in the construction of machinery to take the place of manual labor in almost all lines of work. In no case has this been more marked than in the application of machinery to the digging of ditches and the building of levees.
