Gentlemen;
In answer* to your advertisement or a truck-mounted shovel
of three-eighths to one-half yard capa ity, we are pleased to
quote you on a new full half-yard Insley machine, r,Zodel E-12. .
The measure of the Insley Shovel' Bucket is 14 cubic feet
at the line of the plates, ana hot incl� .ding tooth projection
or heaping of the bucket.. `
The weight of the E-12 fully equipped with all parts of
the shovel front is 9' tons,, plus the working weight of the
truck or lorry on which it is mounted.l,
The Chrysler 8-cyl. gas industri 1 shovel engine is 67 HP
stripped at governed rpm or 51..3 net ad has particularly good,
increase in torque as the engine lugs (down.
The dipper stick is double. Thel,shovel boom is wide at
the base and of full length box-beam construction. This com-
bination gives the maximum strength aglainst the side-ways and
twisting loads which most commonly cause failure in lighter
shovel fronts.
Crowd is automatic. Boom is pow r hoisted and lowered..
Hook rollers prevent overturn of cab..
Today's Insley is the fastest and easiest machine to change
from shovel to backhoe or to crane or dragline. Simple acces-
sibility for maintenance and repair i also an outstanding
feature.
As a backhoe, the standard bucket is yard struck by 31"
cutting breadth,; with excellent reachland depth..
As a crane, the rating is 7�0 toms, with `boom lengths , `ex-
tentions, jibs, and sheaves available ',to meet all possible
appligations of a half-yard machine.
:.The price of the upper base works machine for mounting on
customer's truck, with Chrysler gasoline engine, 3200 lbs.ctwt-,.
single hook rollers, standard boom hoist, and regular truck
frame crane turntable base;. and including also the complete
shovel front with 15'-9" boom, 12'-6" ,dipper stick, 2 cubic
yard Insley Shovel 1�uqke� with manganese steel lip and reversible
replaceable teeth,; and electric motor trip assembly, F.O.B, at
Glens Falls , including guarantee and full service afitention and
operator instruction by a trained field mechanic, is
_. $9s,650,,00
This price is subject to a 21/1 discount for cash sale without
trade-in..
17hilq the price we quote would e subject to increase or
decrease in manufacturer 's list, we a e confident of our ability
to make prgmpt delivery at present prices, It is our thought
k that we coVld cooperate fully with a local Queensbury garage,
accepting our share of responsibility in the performance of the
machine on ,a properly adapted used truck. When and if the
f town is ready for a new carrier (truc , lorry, or crawler) we
will be ,lad to extend our fullest co Aeration.

Delivery from factory to the Town of �ueensbury is 15 days.
We have� assfiirance from the Carswell, Truek and Tractor Company
that your oven truck can be made ready for the shovel by the
time of the shovel 's arrival,, by working from Insley-supplied
dimensions.° The shovel can be in service two days after date
of arrival.
It is our sincere belief that we can be of very real assis-
tance to the Town of Queensbury in providing within the present-
ly available budget a tool of this sort that will fully meet all your growing town's future needs.
