By means of shields (figures 1 and 2) install- ed at the rear of the Iron Chinks, the viscera were diverted through a grate in the floor of the can- nery into a wooden chute (10 by 10 inches by 60 feet) installed underneath the cannery floor. The vis- cera were carried down the chute by water from the sprays on the Chinks onto the draining table. A series of trap doors install- ed in the chute was used to control the rate of flow. As the viscera from the three Chinks, with much ex- cess water, flowed onto the draining table (figure 3), any undesirable portions were picked out and dis- carded. Four men were neces- sary for the operation. One man controlled the flov; and raked the viscera down the sloped table (sloped approximately 6 inches in 8 feet)to the second man (figure 4), who sacked the drained material (figure 5). The filled sack was passed to the third man vdio knotted the top of the polyethylene bag and wire-tied the out- side burlap bag (figure 5). The secured sack was then placed on the elevator(fig- ure 6). The fourth man hand-winched the loaded elevator (six sacks) up to dock level, removed the sacks, and returned the elevator to the platform. The fourth man also made up sacks, that is, placed the polyethylene bag inside the burlap bag (figure 7). At approximately 3=15 p. m. each day, a dump truck transported the day's output to the cold-storage plant. Two trips were usually necessary. The col- lection crew of four men loaded the truck, and two of the men (cold-storage workers) accompanied the truck to the cold-storage plant where the sacks were dumped near the freezer door. These men then hand-trucked the sacks into the freezer (average temperature of -18° F.) and placed them on the freezer plates (figure 8). This operation usually took two men approximat
