Agentle up-grade towards the sea willrequire the cars to be pushed all theway, Sometimes the general level ofthe railroad may be low, so that the delivery in this way is a necessarything. The bottom of the bin must behigh enough above the hatch of theI to p a steep down-gradeIt may be necessary that the end ofthe chute shall be far out from theside of the pier. The further out theend is, the higher the bottom of the binwill have to be above the hatch in order to get the proper steep grade. Some ofthe big vessels are both broad and top of the hatch will be higher themore nearly empty the ship is. A bigvessel may. when empty have a hatchstanding 43 ft. out of the water. Thisis as high as the roof of a three storyh
