The invention consist#y of the devires lor the cuttings l to thiy dumping-ground outsidt` ofthe tunnel.
In tho said drawings the referonre-numoral It) designates a trucljl'ysnu having at the iront oar-wheels of the ordinar)v type and at thtl rear wheels without llanges, thus allowing oi theirv hoing slid laterally oi' the trackrails to adjust tho trurk and thehoring apparatus thereon in a horizontal direction.

greater length than the truck and provided with a keyway 25. Carriedat the forward end oi this shaft is a 'Cutter-head 26, provided with a plurality of radial arms 26', having along one of their respective `edges diagonally-arranged flanges or defiectorlates 2o, whereby the excavated material is caused to he moved rearwardly to fall into the mouth of the conduit 27. The excavating is accomplished hv cutter-points '28, which protrude diagonally forward from the opposite edges of the said arms to the flanges thereof and are detachably secured in place hy holts 2t) or their et uivalent. While thesepoints may he formed in a variety of shapes,- those illustratedin Fig. 5 show an advantageous construction and of which the .upper one is shown with a rectangular scraping or cutting edge A, the other with an acute cutting edge B, and in practice these two types ot points are desirably placed arms of the head, as represente in Fig. 3.y
In axial alinement with the head 26 and protruding forwardly therefrom is an earthaugor 30, inelosed hy a tubular case 31, having in proximity of wherethrough the horings from the auger are discharged. The purpose of this case is to furnish an additional hearing for the said rotar)r head in its proper direotion,even though the latter has heen so advanced as to be at a considerable distance from .the foremost of the hoxes 23.
The shaft 24 is driven through the taediumy i1 on alternate the head apertures 31',
pa ris and serves in retaining the outterof power-transmission gearing from a motor i 32 or, where the duty is excessive, hy two or more such units, and such gearing may advantageously comprise a pinion 32" on the, armature-shaft,- meshing with a spur-wheel 33 upon the transverse spindle 34;'.havin screw-threads cut therein which engage wit the worm-wheels 35 on the longitudinal shafts 36, provided with pinions 37, me hing with the internall -disposed teeth o -the wheel 38, which is splined to the boringshaft 24. ,-,v
Thot Amotor-shaft is also' operatively oonneoted tto a shaft YBii'hy an endless belt 40,.
passing around pulleys 4l and 42 uponthe respeptiveshafts. The last-named shaft is mounted in an orcentrie box 43, 'which is actuated h v a ,hand-lever 44,. whereh the wheel 45, carried by the shaft, is contro ed to put the same into or meut. with the wheel 46 upon the shaft 47,
ix 1o out of friotional engage- This shaft has iixedly mounted thereon a lines 49 i9', extending from straps 50 and 50 which are respectively connected by trunfront of the drums. The purpose of these lines and the mechanism for winding the Vsame is to draw the shaft 'forwardly to present the cutter-head to the work or for receding the same therefrom when required to readjust the position of the truck, and by pivotally connecting the said straps to the shaft the strains between the lines are equalizcd or imparted in an axial direction to the shaft. in certain classes vof digging, how ver, the pov/er of the above-described cutter-feedingdevices is insuii'icient to er;-
' ert the necessary forward pressure to give ample feed motion to the cutters for doing eiiicient Work. Then resortishad to the suplementary feed apparatus, which is clearly illustrated in Fig. l. consists of a hydraulic cylinder 55, mounted upon car-Wheels 56 and having a piston 57,
when they are to he with its rod 57 extending forwardly through stuiiing-box 58. The action of the piston is attained by the ressure of duid which is admitted or withfrawn, as required, through the passages- 59, leading to the ends of the cylinder from the valve-chamber 6G, communicativcly connected with the source of water-supply and controlled by a'valve 61, Which is operated hy the lever 6l and rod @'52, extemling,Y to Within ea sy reach of the attendant.' Provided at the forward end of the rod 57 are hooked members G3, openable upon pins 64 of a strap 65, rei'iessed into au annular groove of the rod. The hooks 63 of these membersare adapted to grapple the shaft 24 over the end enlargement 24 of the same and is detachably hel( in such engagement bya link 66, which encircies the hooked arms, or
held in a distended position by beingi moved` to encircle the flaring tail-arms 53 The'conduit 27, as aforesaid, has its mouth in close proximity of the cutter-head. and is connected to the boss 25 of the saine by a suspending rod 68, passing about the peripheral groove of a ring hloosely mounted in the said boss. The conduit has the top of its front end cut away and the remainder ared, as at 7 G, to provide a pan to receive the droppings from the cutter-points. The front se ction or sections of the conduit pipes maires telescopic connection with the section 27 next behind, and this section with the others, forming; the ground-line, are connected in any suitable way, as by joints 72. This conduit loads from Where the material is dug to the point of delivery, and the excavated niatcriai is conveyed through the conduit by and with a stream of Water, which is iettcd into the same frorn supply-pipes 73 and desirably through terminal reverse bends 74:.
This feed apparatus nions 51 to the shaft le to the rear and in l,pointed-ended ones scoring the face, while resse? The operation of our invention will, it is be understood fromfthe foregoing. By usingr the two illustrated types of cuttingknives the work is especially expedited, thc
being first broken into fragments capable of being handled conveniently and passed.
lengthwise through the machine.
