Where the motor and reducing gear-ing is built under the frame the top of the conveyor isclear, and larger packages can be handled. The straightaxle carrier shown, with large end rollers and light de-tachable chain, is best for handling bags, bales, or bundles,largely because it makes for a lighter and more read hportable machine than the apron type. The smooth steelplate under the axles serves the double purpose of tyingtogether the two side trusses and insuring the smoothertravel of loosely packed bags. Textile Plants—Paper Making Heavy Bales—Packing Cases The apron conveyor, so built into the floor that the sur-face of the apron is flush with the floor level, has thedouble advantage of being easily loaded and of offering aminimum of obstruction to traffic. Men and trucks passfreely across the slow-moving apron at any point. Such. Easy Loading for Heavy Packages conveyors are particularly economical in long storage build-ings where the flow of goods is lengthwise. These con-veyors are reversible and handle trucks and large gatheringboxes, as well as individual packages, in either providing direct continuous connection between success-ive buildings or departments in manufacturing, in receivingraw materials—bales of cotton, wool, paper—or in loadingcars from storage or packing rooms, this conveyor con-serves manual handling. A heavy wood apron is advisable for this work with theslats set as close as possible for the sake of safety, as wellas to prevent floor refuse from falling between the slats with heavy duty roller chain are usual,running in a steel frame. The edge of the floor openingshould be smooth and shoul
