Ruston Bucyrus 19 RB drag shovel

The Ruston Bucyrus 19-RB was designed as a universal machine. The concept was that the basic machine would stay the same but could be varied to suit the task in hand, with different power units and front end equipment. It was first exhibited at the Public Works Exhibition in the Royal Agricultural Hall, London, in November of 1937. The 19-RB came with a 5/8 cubic yard dipper and could be fitted with either a diesel, petrol or electric power unit. Front end equipment options included, drag shovel, dragline, shovel, skimmer and grabbing crane. The first 19-RB, sold directly from the 1937 Public Works Exhibition to Melville, Dundas & Whitson of Glasgow, Scotland. Sales got off to a slow start but due to the outbreak of the Second World war, the 19-RB found itself in great demand from all departments of U.K the ministry of defence . It remained in continuous production for many years with the last 19-RB sold to contractors, Richards & Wallington in December 1967. By then 5410 units had been produced, just short of the production figures for Hymac's iconic 580C hydraulic excavator, which was to debut only three years after the end of the 19-RB's 30 year production run. The 19-RB in the video has what's called a double sloping cab roof. Known as a "continental cab", this was deigned to clear railway tunnels when being transported on main lines in Britain or the rest of Europe. This wonderfully restored example resides at the Threlkeld quarry and mining museum in Cumbria, U.K and can be seen working at the open days in May or September.
