Royer Foundry & Machine Co., 175 Pringle St., Kingston, Pa., has released two bulletins describing its complete line of shredders for "hand-shovel" and tractor-bucket fed operations. They can be obtained by writing the company. Bulletin NS-59 covers hand-shovel shredders of which there are three models of from 5 to 12 cu. yd. capacities. Model 8 is completely new and 10 and 12 have been redesigned. All three are portable and have either built-in electric or gasoline motors. Bulletin S-59 describes shred-ders for mechanically-fed operations. The three models in this series have from 20 to 150 cu. yd. capacities, are portable or stationary and equipped with either electric or gas motors.

13 Women Pros Help on Munsingwear Design

Thirteen members of the Ladies PGA are now serving as members of the newly formed Mun-singwear Women's Sports Advisory board. They are assisting in design of golf shirts for women and wear the Munsingwear "Tee Timer" shirt in all tournaments. This new shirt is a duplicate of the "'Grand Slam," worn by male players. The free-swing, underarm action gusset that gives unrestricted freedom of movement is a feature of both models.

IHC Develops Two Layers for Plastic Pipe

Two new cable layers, designed for fast lay-ing of cable or plastic pipe, have been de-veloped by International Harvester Co. The No.

1 direct-connected cable layer is designed for use with Farmall and International tractors with two-point fast-hitch. The No 10 is a trailing type unit for use with tractors having 50 to 80 drawbar hp. The cable layer is a subsoiler standard mounted on a special cable laying structure. A spool of cable or pipe is threaded through porcelain-lined rings down through a specially constructed tubing on the rear of the subsoiler standard. The cable is fed out 4 ft. behind the standard which is then low-ered into the ground with a forward motion to a depth of 23 ins. Covering isn't necessary as the slit made by the standard closes behind in a matter of a few hours.

They are packed in counter display, self service cartons.

Jacobsen Lawn King Is Walking or Riding Aiower

The Jacobsen Lawn King is claimed to be ideally suited for large area mowing, particular-ly where the terrain includes slopes and terraces.

The 12A Model has a conventional "walk-be-hind" handle but may be quickly converted to a riding mower with addition of the Model 62 Riding Attachment or Model 15 Riding Sulky. It is powered by a 3 hp Jacobsen Hi-Torque en-gine, has a 26-in. cutting width and "Shear Cut" 6-blade reel. Its widespread wheel base gives the Lawn King remarkable stability on slopes or hills.
