The revolvercan be swung so as to connect withanv one of these. In this way oneelevator is made to feed a numberof bins. Below the chutes on the next floorare what are known, and have justbeen referred to, as garners. Theseare simply square bins holding 1,000bushels each. Immediately undereach is a platform-scale, with its binof the same size as the garner aboveit, and receiving grain from the gar-ner when desired. Here the grain isweighed. The garner, it will be seen,can receive grain during the opera-tions of weighing and dischargingthe weighing-bin. and when the lat-ter is emptied can at once refill each weighing-bin the grain isdelivered into the l>ins and pocketsthat completclv till most of theheight of the main building.
