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 3, English, - garner
