. Material handling cyclopedia; a reference book covering definitions, descriptions, illustrations and methods of use of material handling machines employed in industry . construction work, being used to handle muck from excava-tions, bring charges to the mixer and carry concrete to thepoint where it is to be deposited. For handling materialsto be mixed in definite quantities these cars are sometimesprovided with partitions, arranged to hold the right pro-portions of each material. They have also proved to bea very convenient car in mines and are used in many foun- dries, rolling mills and in forge shops for charging cokeand coal into cupolas, furnaces and gas producers and arefrequently used for removing ashes from boiler houses. The body of these cars, being of scoop form and mountedon a swivel so as to permit of dumping in any direction,makes them particularly desirable for depositing the load inthe exact location desired; in fact, these cars are frequentlycalled all-around dump cars. The operator is alwayson the side opposite to that on which the load is dumpedand where he may easily reach the latch to unfasten it whenit is desired to dump the Scoop Car, Dumping Position Several different types of latches are used, some beingcontrolled by hand and others by the operators foot. A handle is provided at the rear at a convenient heightto assist in dumping and in returning the car to an up-right position. The angle of discharge is so steep that even pasty sub-stances are completely discharged. As the cars are used singly they are not equipped withcouplers and rarely with brakes.
