It carves two foot nine inch trenches at about 100 yards in four minutes, using diesel engines and windlasses to shape ridges. The machine, designed in the North of England, can be hauled by steam or diesel power and mirrors earlier Zuider Zee work, where similar units dug two million yards of trenches in 20 months.
