Barrel Elevator The simplest application of conveyors ismerely to save labor expense in transportingmaterial between given points. A conveyorhandling 700-pound glucose barrels from re-finery to wharf 450 feet distant, actuallyeffected a very great economy—tlie cost ofthis installation, some $3,000, being saved inapproximately three months. Short conveyors are used to handle mer-chandise between vessels and warehouse, be-ing hinged at the warehouse floor level, sothat they may be inclined upwardly or down-ward, according to the position of ports ofthe vessel, at any stage. The purpose ofsuch an installation is to aid labor ratherthan displace it. Nevertheless these convey-ors are incidentally money-savers. Four ofthem operating in pairs running in alternatedirections, each 110 feet long, saved theirfirst cost, approximating $16,000, in one yearof use. Elevating and conveying devices have anextended use as an adjunct to special proc-esses where the mere conveying function issecondary.
