Packing House Conveyors meat, particularly in warm weather, the great reduction inthe time the meat is out of the refrigerator alone warrantsthe use of continuous power propulsion. The picture shows a system with unusually heavy over-head supports, laid out to serve a line of freight and cross-overs provide for distribution to branchlines. For this purpose tracks of various cross sections,from the T section to the fully enclosed type, are in use. The hangers should be carried on free-running roller bear-ings. Hooks, as well as other types of hangers are com-monly used, although the noose type shown is usual forhandling frozen meat. Automobiles The overhead track conveyor shown illustrates about thesimplest type of this class, and one which has been very suc-cessfully used. One of the chief advantages of such a con-veyor is the space saved with the resulting freedom of floormovement. In manufacturing processes where the conveyor. This Type Is Useful for Painting and Drying is used to carry pieces between different machines or opera-tions, it acts as a temporary storage system, in that everypiece is free to travel around the circuit until finished. Theflexibility of this type of conveyor, with the small space re-quired, makes it very efficient in connection with the variousassembly conveyors used in this and similar industries. For the handling of such light loads as shown, ven, lighttrack and overhead framing is sufficient. In this installationa standard chain attachment equipped with rollers runs inthe inclosed steel track which is supported at intervals ofabout 3 ft. to the timber above. This attachment preventsthe objectionable sway so common to many overhead in-stallations not so securely braced. Plain, detachable linkchain is usually satisfactory. In order to prevent excessivesag
