-20- ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The method for automatic guidance of a machine of the crawler type for laying drainage piping or any similar earthmoving machine consists in preliminary recording, in digital form and on a moving magnetic recording medium, of all the planimetric and altimetric data relating to the operations to be performed with reference to datum points and to a reference plane. There are then placed on the ground of the drainage site fixed beacons for marking the location of the selected datum points as well as a rotating laser beam emitter for defining the desired reference plane. The crawler machine to be guided is equipped with a micro- processor control-module for reading the indications recorded on the magnetic recording medium and controlling two guidance modules, one module being employed for plani- metric guidance of the crawler machine and the other module being employed for altimetric guidance of the drain-laying or digging tool of the machine. These two control modules produce action respectively on the steering control of the machine and on the system for controlling the height-setting of the tool with reference to the fixed locating beacons and to the plane defined by the rotating laser beam.
