This is especially truein handling hard coal or dry sand wherethe angle of flow is fairly flat. In actual operation, the engine of themachine is started, and a clutch thrownin, which puts the chain and buckets inmotion, and the machine is backed intothe pile until the buckets strike the ma-terial. They will pull through the ma-terial as long as it flows by gravity, butfinally the buckets will have made forthemselves a clear path. The material isthen trimmed or fed by men with shovelsinto reach of buckets, and it is so mucheasier for men to push the material downin this way than to throw by shovelfuls.
