The dried corn in this hold changed very little in temperature during the voyage, as is shown in Table 29 and figure 42. The temperature record for thermometer 23 shows that the corn at the' surface near the en- gine room bulkhead increased 27° F. and had a temperature of 80° F. at the end of the voyage, while the temperature of the corn at the same height in the after part of the hold was the same when discharged as when loaded, as shown by the tempera- ture record for ther- mometer24. The corn stowed next to the engine-room bulkhead about 6 feet from the bottom, increased 8 degrees, and the corn stowed at the same height in the after part of the hold in- â,,â ,.,. ^ creased 7 degrees, as Fig. 42.âHold 4: Temperature records of electrical resistance ther- . i i mometers, location of the thermometers in the hold, and samples IS SnOWTl by tiie rCC- secured at Rotterdam.
