Description
Testing the Maxon Shu-Pak refuse loader Friday at the City Garage are Jack Bowen, Public Works mechanic and Bob Martin, city sanitation director. The city is using the $33,000 machine on a week's trial basis. It is operated from the right side by the operator standing on the running board.
When the operator reaches a pile of refuse, he hits the air brake, steps down and pitches the trash into the compactor, then climbs aboard and goes to the next stop.
