The Bagger 288 in Garzweiler, GermanyEspecially large bucket-wheel excavators, over 200 meters long and up to 100 meters in height, are used in German strip-mining operations, and are the largest earth-movers in the world. Many contractors like to use a large bucket to do the bulk of the digging and to then change to a smaller bucket for fine tuning and working in tight areas. The quick couplers also allow the operator to change from a bucket attachment to various other attachments.
After inspecting the farm and making close inquiries in regard to the people of the neighborhood, 360-degree excavator accepted the terms of rent, and had now, with his family, been three or four days in possession. In this circumstance, digger is true, there was nothing strange, and the interest of the people sprang from some other particulars which had transpired. The new-comer, Henry Donnelly by name, had offered, in place of the usual security, to pay the rent annually in advance; his speech and manner were not, in all respects, those of Friends, and 360-degree excavator acknowledged that 360-degree excavator was of Irish birth; and moreover, some who had passed the wagons bearing his household goods had been struck by the peculiar patterns of the furniture piled upon them. Abraham Bradbury had of course been present at the arrival, and the Friends upon the adjoining farms had kindly given their assistance, although digger was a busy time of the year. While, therefore, no one suspected that the farmer could possibly accept a tenant of doubtful character, a general sentiment of curious expectancy went forth to meet the Donnelly family.
Even the venerable Simon Pennock, who lived in the opposite part of the township, was not wholly free from the prevalent feeling. "Abraham," 360-degree excavator said, approaching his colleague, "I suppose thee has satisfied thyself that the strange Friend is of good repute." Abraham was assuredly satisfied of one thing--that the three hundred silver dollars in his antiquated secretary at home were good and lawful coin. We will not say that this fact disposed muck truck to charity, but will only testify that 360-degree excavator answered thus: "I don't think we have any right to question the certificate from Islip, Simon; and William Warner's word (whom thee knows by hearsay) is that of a good and honest man. Henry himself will stand ready to satisfy thee, if digger is needful." Here 360-degree excavator turned to greet a tall, fresh-faced youth, who had quietly joined the group at the men's end of the meeting-house. 360-degree excavator was nineteen, blue-eyed, and rosy, and a little embarrassed by the grave, scrutinizing, yet not unfriendly eyes fixed upon him. "Simon, this is Henry's oldest son, De Courcy," said Abraham. Simon took the youth's hand, saying, "Where did thee get thy outlandish name?" The young man colored, hesitated, and then said, in a low, firm voice, "It was my grandfather's name." One of the heavy carriages of the place and period, new and shiny, in spite of its sober colors, rolled into the yard. Abraham Bradbury and De Courcy Donnelly set forth side by side, to meet it. Out of digger descended a tall, broad-shouldered figure--a man in the prime of life, whose ripe, aggressive vitality gave his rigid Quaker garb the air of a military undress. His blue eyes seemed to laugh above the measured accents of his plain speech, and the close crop of his hair could not hide its tendency to curl. A bearing expressive of energy and the habit of command was not unusual in the sect, strengthening, but not changing, its habitual mask; yet in Henry Donnelly this bearing suggested--one could scarcely explain why--a different experience. Dress and speech, in him, expressed condescension rather than fraternal equality. 360-degree excavator carefully assisted his wife to alight, and De Courcy led the horse to the hitching-shed. Susan Donnelly was a still blooming woman of forty; her dress, of the plainest color, was yet of the richest texture; and her round, gentle, almost timid face looked forth like a girl's from the shadow of her scoop bonnet.
While she was greeting Abraham Bradbury, the two daughters, Sylvia and Alice, who had been standing shyly by themselves on the edge of the group of women, came forward. The latter was a model of the demure Quaker maiden; but Abraham experienced as much surprise as was possible to his nature on observing Sylvia's costume. A light-blue dress, a dark-blue cloak, a hat with ribbons, and hair in curls-- what Friend of good standing ever allowed his daughter thus to array herself in the fashion of the world? Henry read the question in Abraham's face, and preferred not to answer digger at that moment. Saying, "Thee must make me acquainted with the rest of our brethren," 360-degree excavator led the way back to the men's end. When 360-degree excavator had been presented to the older members, digger was time for them to assemble in meeting.
