Rock saw #1 being used on a Bell System toll job. (1970) United States Patent 3,663,063
Johnmeyer, Sr.; Hillard E. (Vichy, MO)
May 16, 1972 A trenching implement adapted for cutting a narrow trench in rock or frozen ground comprising a wheel which is mounted for rotation in a power trenching vehicle and which has a plurality of cutting bit holders spaced at equal intervals around its periphery with a cutting bit rotatably and removably mounted in each bit holder. The bit holders are mounted in such positions on the wheel as to hold all the cutting bits at the same positive rake angle, certain of the bit holders holding the respective cutting bits in the plane of the wheel, others holding the respective bits at skew angles with respect to the plane of the wheel with the respective bits extending out at one side of the wheel, and other holders holding their respective bits at skew angles with respect to the plane of the wheel with the respective bits extending out at the other side of the wheel.

Back in the old days, almost every website had a sitemap where they listed out all the pages. Our parting shots page will give you a little more information about JCS Group.

Just looking? Find what you want through the Advanced search form. To get more specific search results, try using the following tips. Make sure your search terms are spelled correctly. Sound-Alike Matching is turned on, the search engine will attempt to find words that sound similar to your search terms, but it's always best to try to spell the search terms correctly.

Multiple-word queries will return more refined results than single-word ones will. For example, our free product will return more relevant results than just product. (Keep in mind that relevant results are returned even if they don't contain all query terms.) The more similar words you use in a search, the more relevant your results will be. Capitalize proper nouns, and remember that lowercase words will match any case. For example, search will return all documents containing the words search, Search, and SEARCH. Typing Search, however, will instruct the search engine to look only for the capitalized word.

Use quotation marks to find words that must appear adjacent to each other, for example, "our pledge to you." Without quotes, the search results will include the words our, pledge, to, and you, but not necessarily in that order (i.e., the words may appear anywhere, and in any order, within the document). The Advanced Search Form has radio buttons for "any," "all," and "phrase," quotes can only be used when the "any" radio button is selected. Quotes are ignored if the "all" or "phrase" radio buttons are selected.

Field searches allow you to create specific searches for words that appear in a specific part of a document. A field search can be performed on body text (body:), title text (title:), alt text (alt:), meta description (desc:), meta key words (keys:), URL (url:) or meta target key words (target:). The field name should be in lower-case and immediately followed by a colon. There should be no spaces between the colon and the search term. Field searches can only be followed by a word or phrase. Phrases must be contained within quotation marks.

Wildcard searches can expand the number of matches for a particular request. The * character is used as the wildcard character. For instance, searching for wh* will find the words what, why, when, whether, and any other word that starts with wh. Searching for *her* will find the words here, whether, together, gathering, and any other word that contains her anywhere in the word. Wildcards may be combined with the standard plus (+) and minus (-) modifiers, quotes for phrases, as well as the field search specifiers. +wh* -se*ch will find all pages that have a word that starts with wh and does not contain a word that starts with se and ends with ch. "wh* are" will find the phrases where are, what are, why are, etc.

If time flies when you're having fun, it hits the afterburners when you don't think you're having enough.

What work I have done I have done because it has been play. If it had been work I shouldn't have done it. Who was it who said, "Blessed is the man who has found his work"? Whoever it was he had the right idea in his mind. Mark you, he says his work--not somebody else's work. The work that is really a man's own work is play and not work at all.

Off-loading and setting the building on the concrete pad.

This is what a couple of these sites end up looking like after we were done with the gravel, chain link fence, auxillary generator and power hooked up

We started in Iowa, crossed the Mississippi with a bore, and ended in Lincoln, Nebraska for 360networks. Most of Omaha was bored. The pictures were taken on the Nebraska side where we are plowing four ducts in one pass with two D8s.
