Description	The Marion Steam Shovel Company had been in business for only four years when this 6" by 9" (15.24 by 22.86 cm) catalog was issued in 1888. A steam shovel is a steam-powered digging apparatus used for large jobs, including construction, mining, and earth moving. The catalog includes a view of the plant, line drawings, descriptions, and prices of the following products: 1 1/2 yard steam shovel and wrecking car, one yard steam shovel, 3/4 yard shovel, 1/2 yard shovel, railroad ditcher, steam wrecker, handwrecker, center ballast unloader, and side ballast unloader. The Marion Steam Shovel Company had national and international prominence. Its machines were employed in major projects around the world, including the building of the Panama Canal and Hoover Dam. In the 1960s, "The Shovel" as the company was known, built the crawler-transporters still used by NASA. The company went out of business in 1997.
