A road planer of new design, which has been constructed for the local office of the Public Works Department, is at present being tried out, says the Stratford “Post.” It has four cutting blades, and is so constructed that surplus material is passed from blade to blade and finally deposited on the side of the i-oad by the fourth blade. In a recent test the machines was drawn at a. speed of eight miles an hour by a lorry, and it is estimated that by its help long stretches of road can be efficiently maintained.
