The guns, so-called, are pressure vessels about 6 in. in diameter and 30 in. long. They are provided with a steam inlet, a bleed-off valve, and a means for heating the gun-usually by a gas flame. A charge of pellets [made from cereals] at 11 to 12% moisture is dropped into the open end of the gun from a gravity chute leading from the storage bins on the floor above. The end of the gun is sealed by a trip-valve. All valves are closed, sealing the gun. If the gun is heated by gas flames, it is slowly rotated while the temperature, and consequently the pressure, is slowly built up. The temperature may reach 500 to 800 degrees F, and the pressure at the end point may be 100 to 200 psi.... When the pressure reaches the necessary level, the end of the gun is suddenly opened by a trigger mechanism. The contents explode... into a cage or bin with a floor opening leading to a conveyor belt. 3, record 1, English, - puffing%20gun

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 2, 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 2, French, - tr%C3%A9mie%20de%20r%C3%A9ception

Hess suggested that the continents do not plow their way through the ocean floor but move with it much like coal on a conveyor belt. He proposed that the sea floor is being continuously generated along linear fissures running for thousands of kilometers through the major ocean basins, molten rock wells up into the fissures from the mantle below and quickly hardens(...). Elsewhere on the earth the ocean floor plunges into a trench and then sinks to great depths in the mantle. 2, record 9, English, - Hess%26rsquo%3B%20hypothesis
