According to the company, two new B-Series loaders—the 242B3 and the 257B3—have been designed with larger lift and tilt cylinders to give these two new models “a substantial gain in boom and bucket breakout force, from 13 to 19 percent, depending on model and circuit. Increased breakout forces provide enhanced performance in all basic functions—loading, lifting and digging,” the company states in a news release. The 242B3 and 257B3 models also feature an engine-mounted air-conditioner compressor, designed to eliminate a hydraulic motor and plumbing that used to be required on previous models. “The new configuration is a simpler design that uses fewer parts, reduces the number of hydraulic connections and lowers sound levels in the cab,” according to Caterpillar. The cab of the new model incorporates a removable steel frame and is designed to provide the operator optimal rear visibility through large, tinted windows. Reducing operator fatigue is the intent of ergonomically designed controls, with the desired effect being increased productivity. “This cab also features two doors for easy access, an operator’s seat with hydraulic shock absorption and standard air conditioning,” Terex says, adding, “all service points are easily accessible, reducing downtime for maintenance.” The company’s hitch-guard package is designed to protect the articulation area and reduce the probability of material packing. The new heavy-duty rear guard enhances protection of the rear of the machine and is designed to provide access for radiator cleaning and other maintenance by swinging out of the way. In addition to the new rear guard, the company’s windshield guard has been modified to provide additional cover on the lower cab window panels.

Giving a face to the world's most celebrated smile: New Holland ...

It all started with the most mysterious and fascinating portrait in the world, the Mona Lisa, and the claims of Giorgio Vasari who, sometime around 1550 identified Mona Lisa Gherardini as Leonardo’s model. According to Vasari, she is the one portrayed in Leonardo’s masterpiece commissioned by her husband, Francesco del Giocondo.

Were it not for the hypnotic powers of the legendary smile and the resulting worldwide success of an all-time best seller, it would be little more than a simple historical curiosity or a scholarly pursuit.

When the tattered death certificate that indicated Lisa’s burial site was found in 2007 in the St. Lawrence Basilica of the Florentine convent of Sant’Orsola, the world looked on with baited breath.

Inevitably, amidst everyone’s burning curiosity, the order was given to begin excavation work to recover the body. By carefully recovering the remains with special attention to the skull, a computerised portrait of the woman’s face will be created and compared with the portrait in the masterpiece housed in the Louvre, prior to comparison with the DNA of the remains of the Gherardini children buried in another Florentine church.

The very first investigations were conducted with Georadar that verified the presence of relics up to a depth of 3-4 metres in the two cloisters and in a church of the former Florentine convent.

This is where the New Holland Construction equipment excavator with hammer came into clear away a 36 centimetre layer of reinforced concrete put down in the1980′s for building a barracks. The site was then prepared for a proper archaeological dig that began 11 May under the direction of the company La Prato Scavi and assisted by an E18SR rotating mini-excavator and a C175 compact tracked mini-shovel.

The New Holland mini excavator conducted precision excavation within the walled niches containing cemetery urns (known as loculi) in which the Surintendence had determined that no relics of archaeological interest would be found. In those loculi in which they thought remains might be present, the Prato firm proceeded by hand. The excavator meanwhile remained at the ready to be able to remove the earth that was loaded with the shovels into the bucket and brought to the edge of the digs.

The mini excavator was also chosen for its variable (98-132 mm) track and working clearance of 2120 mm that enables operation in very tight spaces without worrying about what may happen behind, thanks to a rear rotating radius of zero. This is ideal for being able to move with no problems within the historical building.
