Looks like film from the Mexican desert chase after Poncho Villa (laughingly called a punitive expedition, they never caught him, Lt. Patton accomplished more with a Buick). They also used trucks for the first time, and Lombard gas tractors, the original halftrack machine. Holt had not bought the English Hornsby patents yet, after which he invented his claim to being the originator of track steer crawler design and stopped using steering wheels.

Looks like manitoba construction equipment that's what started the earth moving construction after horses..
