The handling of both general freight andbaggage is thus speeded up with the saving, not only oflabor, but of the time of the vessel. With the usual pier construction the conveyor can bestbe suspended from a bail attached to the frame at a con-venient point with a hoisting cable or chain running througha pulley secured to the pier above. Such conveyors areoccasionally handled by the ships hoist. Frames of foursteel angles, forming two thoroughly braced side trusses,and with stiff lateral bracing, are satisfactory. Wood slatswith heavy duty roller chain make a good apron. Sideguards are advisable, unless there is a possibility of han-dling packages wider than the conveyor. The large steelwheels at the center, with small casters at the end, asshown, provide a mounting which makes for easy porta-bility. StorageBags The development of the automatic transfer of packagesfrom one section to another has been largely responsible. Automatic Right Angle Discharge for the increasing use of portable conveyors. Where rightor other angle turns are necessary adjustable stands for 368 CONVEYORS AND ELEVATORS FOR PACKED MATERIAL bags, or bales, or gravity roller curves for boxes, eliminatemanual handling at such points. Direct transfer in astraight line from one section to another, or from conveyorto portable elevator, as shown at the right, is even a simplermatter. Such operating improvements as these, with in-creasing knowledge of how and when to use the equipment,have materially broadened the field of economic applica-tion of these sectional carrier systems. The overhead power frame shown at the far end lasbeen commonly accepted as standard, but this type frameis gradually giving way to the more compact under-slungdriving mechanism. Where the motor
