California road machine tested on Indiana macadam project
A road machine from M Haines of Oakland demonstrates a combined scanner scraper and roller on a mile of macadam near Laporte. The device supposedly eliminates waves and humps, reduces wear, and scarifies the surface, potentially creating an asphalt like result at lower cost. County officials plan to finish the remaining third of the stretch if the machine proves effective.
