The maximum incline atwhich ordinary packages will travel up a belt elevatorwithout cleats is about 20 deg., although where there is high friction between package and belt incline, as highas 25 deg. to 30 deg. are practicable. ConfectioneryCartons—Boxes—Bags No industrial operation lends itself more readily to theeconomical use of belt conveyors than wrapping and pack-ing of all classes of confectionery and bakery goods andsimilar commodities. Not only is much of the actual labor and. Moving Work Table Increases Production time of bringing up the piece goods and carrying awaythe packages saved, but the entire operation is better or-ganized and a superior grade of work accomplished. Whereit is advisable to bring the pieces to the packers in contain-ers, the empty containers may be returned on the lower runof the same belt. The photograph shows an interestingconfectionery wrapping system, in which the use of the beltconveyor eliminates the needless moving about and con-fusion so common to many such departments. For of such light packages the conveyormay well be very light. However, it is not real economyto use an extremely light belt, because of its continualstretch and generally unsatisfactory operation. Since thecontinuous movement of the belt ao often exerts an im-portant influence in speeding up production, the questi
