Equipment Echoes
One of the most important activities of the HCEA for its members is the production of a quarterly magazine, Equipment Echoes. Along with historical, educational and technical articles and numerous photographs, the magazine reports historical equipment news and events. Each issue has a full color cover as well as full color back cover usually depicting our members’ equipment.
- News – All the news that’s fit to print. Covers the HCEA and the Museum and Archives.
- Tom’s Trivia – In most issues, Archivist Tom Berry provides some witty and challenging equipment-related trivia questions.
- Diggin’ For Help – In many issues, we print requests and photos from our members needing help in identifying and restoring equipment.
- Reviews – Most issues have reviews of books and videos on construction, surface mining and dredging equipment and its history.
- Classifieds – Listings and photos of equipment, parts, collectibles and more, for sale or wanted to buy.
