In establishing a feasible train operation on a train run, the "spotting capacity" on each primary elevator at each loading point being assigned rail cars must be considered. Spotting capacity is the number of empty cars that can be placed for loading at an elevator without either the empty or subsequently loaded cars interfering with the loading operation at an adjacent facility. Allocating shipping orders in excess of spotting capacity results in a shortfall in a loading plan and a temporary under-supply of grain at an export point. 1, record 1, English, - loading%20point

Pour bien planifier les mouvements de train, il faut tenir compte de la «capacité des dessertes» à chaque silo de collecte pour tous les points de chargement auxquels sont affectés des wagons. On entend par là le nombre de wagons vides qu'on peut placer en position de chargement à un silo sans que les wagons encore vides ou chargés nuisent au chargement à un autre silo. Si, en répartissant les ordres d’expédition, on affecte à un endroit plus de wagons vides qu'il ne peut en recevoir, il s’ensuit alors une perturbation dans le programme de chargement et un sous-approvisionnement temporaire de grains à un point d’exportation. 1, record 1, French, - point%20de%20chargement

The balloon annex usually has a capacity of about 680 tonnes. Built beside the elevator, it is usually 8.2 metres wide, 18.3 metres long, 6.1 metres high and has one partition in the middle which creates two large bins. It is filled by lifting grain within the elevator itself from the pit to the distributor spout and then directing the grain through an added spout to the annex. A 23 centimetre auger, located beneath the floor, is used to empty the annex. The elevator engine is used for power. Grain is brought from the annex into the elevator's back hopper and elevated to one of the elevator's storage bins or into a rail car. 1, record 3, English, - balloon%20annex

Une annexe temporaire a habituellement une capacité d’environ 680 tonnes. Attenante au silo, elle a normalement 8, 2 mètres de largeur, 18, 3 mètres de longueur et 6, 1 de hauteur et une cloison verticale placée en son milieu la divise en deux grandes cellules. Pour les remplir, on élève le grain au sommet du silo proprement dit, puis on le laisse s’écouler par l'une des goulottes dans l'annexe. Une vis transporteuse de 23 centimètres placée sous le plancher et entraînée par le moteur de l'élévateur amène le grain de l'annexe à la fosse arrière de l'élévateur à godets et, de là, l'élève pour le mettre dans une cellule du silo ou le charger dans un wagon de chemin de fer. 1, record 3, French, - annexe%20temporaire
