Show The officers and stockholders of the Utah Karns Tunneling Machine company are Impatiently Impa-tiently awaiting the arrival of the perfected, eight-foot machine which has been ordered for delivery here at the earliest possible moment. The officers feel confident that the perfection of the big tunnel driver has at last been accom- plished and already contracts have been secured fora large amount of commercial work for the Utah Karns machine. From the beginning the principle of the Karns machine has been acknowledged as correct by the leading railroad and technical engineers en-gineers of the country, and the various tests that have been made with the different models proved conclusively last year that with a few slight changes the ultimate success of the invention was assured. The second machine ever built by the parent company on experimental work drove about sixty-five feet of tunnel very successfully at an average speed of two and one half feet per hour and thirty minutes. The company is bidding on a large amount of work throughout this and neighboring states. |
