Rolls of cloth in process find thespiral the most direct method of travel between operations,and bolts of finished cloth, carpets, and other textiles, arelowered by spiral to the shipping and packing rooms. It isin the textile mill of three or more stories that the econ-omy of the spiral is most evident. For this service runways of 14 gage metal, itom 30 36 in. wide, with 12 in. to 18 in. guard-rail are handlingbaskets a grade of from IS deg. to 22 sufficient, but for bolts of cloth 20 deg. to 28 deg. willbe required. Hand-loading at the intermediate floors is SPIRAL CHUTES 397 best done over the guard-rail, rather than with loadinggates or inlet slides. When the spiral is loaded from con- in the same chute with heavy cases or barrels some definitesystem of signaling should be used to avoid congestion. Delivering from Housed Chute to Floor veyors, however, the guard-rail should be cut down toallow the entrance of the inlet slide. Delivering from Spiral to Truck and breakage. In handling the heavier packages specialcare must be given to the setting of diverters or otheradjustable accessories. Confectionery—Chocolate—CocoaBarrels—Crates—Boxes—Cartons—Bags The extreme range of packages used in the confectioneryindustry, from paper cartons of a few ounces in weight,to the steel hooped barrel of 300 lb. to 400 lb., has de-manded unusual attention and study in the design andapplication of spiral chutes to meet these exacting condi-tions. For the more extreme variations the most success-ful results have been secured by using a double runwayspiral with one runway of less diameter, and consequentlysteeper grade t
