When a carload of grain is to be shipped, the batching mechanism on the office control panel is set at the number of hoppers needed to load the car. The system is then set to cycle. First, the butterfly in the annex bin opens and grain is conveyed by the intermediate conveyor to the garner. Grain from the garner flows into the hopper scale filling it to its initial setting; then the garner gate closes. At the same time, the gate of the hopper scale opens, releasing the weighed grain on to the conveyor; this conveyor takes the grain to the shipping leg where it is elevated and loaded into the car. The cycle repeats itself until the car is filled. 1, record 2, English, - garner

Quand un wagon de grain doit être expédié, le mécanisme de pesée discontinue est réglé en fonction du nombre de remplissage de la bascule à trémie qu'il faut pour remplir le wagon. Le cycle est commandé depuis le panneau central. Une fois le mécanisme enclenché, la vanne papillon de la cellule s'ouvre et le grain s'écoule sur la bande transporteuse intermédiaire qui le transporte jusqu'à la trémie de la bascule d'expédition. La vanne d'alimentation s'ouvre et la benne de la bascule se remplit jusqu'au poids désiré; puis la vanne se ferme. A ce moment, la benne de la bascule se vide sur la bande transporteuse à trémies qui le transporte jusqu'à l'élévateur d'expédition à godets qui élève le grain et le déverse dans le wagon.

Rapid plows. The Loebbehobel is a rapid plow which is equipped with three or four protruding picks or bits. The plow is double-ended and cuts as it traverses in each direction along the face. The machine normally travels at a speed of about 75 ft/min and takes a slice of coal 3-4 in. thick off the face at each pass. It is pulled to and fro by an endless chain which is driven by the gearheads at each end of the armored conveyor. Maximum pulling force is about 20 tons. This machine is capable of working in seams 1 ft 8 in. thick up to 7 ft thick and can produce, load, and deliver to a gate conveyor from 1. 5 to 5 tons/min. The plow works well in seams which are soft or are hard but friable but will not work well in coal which is "tough" or "woody". 1, record 6, English, - rapid%20plow

Le rabot rapide (...) En plan, le rabot est un trapèze prolongé par deux lames de guidage passant sous le convoyeur cuirassé. Un tube fixé au convoyeur sert de guide au rabot. En même temps, il loge le brin de retour de la chaîne de halage, le brin d'attaque étant par contre libre à front de taille. Le blindé a une tête motrice à chaque extrémité de la taille, qui entraîne en même temps la chaîne du rabot. L'entraînement se fait par embrayage commandé automatiquement par le rabot lui-même qui arrivé en fin de taille, déclenche le dispositif de commande et d'inversion (...) 1, record 6, French, - rabot%20rapide
