This bin is designed so that action of all normal forces places nailed fastenings in shear and/or compression. This minimizes the common problem of failure due to loosening of nails or bolts. RECOMMENDATIONS Specific recommendations and plans presented here incorporate features found desirable as a result of the investigation. Bin manufacturers or purchasers may emphasize specific features or needs ap- plicable to their own operations. The following recommendations for bin de- sign are based on research conducted during the 1957, 1958, and 1959 seasons. Use 47-inch-square bins for efficiency in handling and storage. Use 24-inch inside depth of bin (28 inches over-all) for minimum transport damage to fruit and for stacking seven- high in 17-foot storage. Use two-way entry pallets on bins rather than four-way ones, with 3 X 3- inch skids for pallets. Do not use boards on the bottom of the skids. Use -inch, exterior grade plywood sides with galvanized sheet-metal corner bracing for maximum usable space, [8]
