Elsewhere, any tendency to upset up at once by the legs bearing on the ground, theclearance being but a few inches. The bin was lowered down the incline onto the trestleby means of two sets of blocks and tackle; the two together capable of lifting 80 tons. The free ends weresecured to two locomotives, one south and one north, onthe construction railway. Two heavy dead men heldthe blocks at the top of the incline. The bin was loweredby signalling the engines to come together. The rigging. Fig. 2.—Starting Down the Incline. The Track Shownis a Siding from the Construction Railway. of the lowering tackle and the moving and lowering ofthe bin took about a day and a half. The whole operation was performed without a bin was run out from the bottom of the incline tothe end of the trestle and jacked up again and the carthen hauled back. The top of the bin is now at about the same elevationas the top of the slope on which runs the constructionrailway. The trestle is to be built to the same level be-tween the bin and the slope, so that cars can be broughtout from the construction railway and dumped directlyinto the bin. Two 2-yard Ransome mixers are to be installedunder the bin. They will be fed direct from the bin and r mMi K^^l mSl^ *E!^f*H^fc-s-^| ^k^^kNS^rMv^^ ^H^AMK Fig. 3.—Hauling Bin Over Uneven Ground. will feed direct into buckets on the concrete trains.
