When the scale floor indicates that the appropriate garner is empty, the valve at the bottom of the unloading pit is activated. The grain discharges onto a conveyor belt and is transferred to the boot of the receiving leg. En route it passes under a large electro magnet which removes all ferrous metal from the grain. An automatic sampler, operating under the supervision of the Grain Commission's Inspection Division, takes a representative sample of each carload before it reaches the receiving leg. 2, record 1, English, - garner

Dès que le préposé à la bascule signale qu'une trémie de réception est disponible, on actionne la vanne au fond de la fosse de déchargement. Le grain se déverse sur une bande transporteuse et s'achemine jusqu'au pied de l'élévateur en passant, en cours de route, sous un puissant électro-aimant qui extrait toutes les particules métalliques. Une sonde automatique fonctionnant sous la surveillance de la division de l'inspection de la Commission canadienne des grains prélève un échantillon représentatif de chaque wagon avant son arrivée au pied de l'élévateur. 2, record 1, French, - tr%C3%A9mie%20de%20r%C3%A9ception
