Might be smaller than what is normally used in civilian construction but should be common enough to find a picture of somewhere. |

it's real, you see it moving but had no luck so far if you noticed rollers are probably the most unknown construction vehicle left a reason for that it is a very LOW-TECH machine and so there were lots of producers and models many forgotten today unlike CRANES, dozers or excavators for example which is a more hi-tech machines which means much less producers due to higher expertise required to do them and be successful in the business -- Last edit: 2014-12-11 15:52:25 |

It seems in World War 2 the U.S. military used a full-sized Huber roller whenever they could. So, a smaller roller may have been built for the military. |

It looks like Essick was in Los Angeles. But I didn't see any like the war roller. |

Suppose we can remove 'Road Roller' from the extra info now, listing these things here is no unusual thing (anymore) |

Your blueprints say 1950 on them...but it does resemble the war roller. |
