Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Elevator and Grain Trade, Vol. 22: May 15, 1904 There is also a -pound hopper scale located in the bottom of one of the bins for house weigh ing. The beams of both these scales are brought to the first floor. This is made possible by the fact that the cupola is supported on 12x14-foot posts, which are carried through the bins to the first floor framework, which relieves the cupola from the ordinary settling and racking when sup ported on the cribbing. There are six process elevators which have a capacity of bushels per hour each. The house is designed and built particularly for the handling and treating of oats, and has been pronounced by those who are competent to judge the best of its kind in the country. The machinery equipment consists of two Invincible Oat Clippers and one large special cleaner built to order, and several other special machines designed and con structed for the treating of oats. All the elevator buckets are of the Stephens Per feet Discharge type, which are capable of traveling at high speed and making a perfect delivery. There is a longitudinal 16-foot conveyor in the basement which may be run in either direction for transfer purposes. The basement is 6 feet 7 inches in the clear, mak ing it a valuable adjunct to a house of this char? Acter.
