The Caterpillar Century
Now an industry giant and a legend among American
manufacturers, Caterpillar first got its name from Holt
Manufacturing Companys remarkable tractor creation of 1905.
What followed was the Caterpillar century, an era of
engineering revolutions and world-changing earthmovers. Eric
Orlemann serves as tour guide through this time of American
mechanical know-how and muscle, offering us a rare close-up
look at the technology of Caterpillars most important
equipment innovations, then and now. Packed with
contemporary photographs, archival images, and information
on state-of-the-art equipment design, Caterpillar Century traces
the evolution of this icon of industry from its emergence in
1905 to its making of modern day heavy-equipment marvels
and development of future design prototypes.

Bucyrus: Making the Earth Move
Bucyrus International Inc., formerly Bucyrus-Erie Company,
celebrates 125 years of building heavy excavating
machinery, including the largest earthmovers ever to roam the
planet. Founded in 1880 by Daniel P. Eells and a group of
business associates, the company built a diverse range of
machines and grew to become the leading supplier of walking
draglines, shovels, and drills to the surface mining industry.
With its acquired companies, such as Marion Power Shovel
and Ransomes & Rapier, Bucyrus built the entire roster of giant
stripping shovels in the western world, and the
record-breaking "Big Muskie" walking dragline. Over 90
percent of the giant walking draglines working today have
been built by the Bucyrus companies.

R. G. LeTourneau Heavy Equipment
In the history of heavy equipment development, no single
man's name is more respected than that of R. G. LeTourneau.
Robert Gilmour LeTourneau is considered by many to be the
dean of high-speed mobile earthmoving equipment. Self
propelled, rubber tired scrapers, bulldozing blades, and
rippers were all conceived under his engineering genius in
the quest for moving material at the lowest-cost-per-yard. This
book covers up until the sale of the company to Marathon in
1971 and includes experimental machines shown in rare
archival images
