Snow Conveyor Loads Tin Cans Into Freight Cars
Item
Considerable time and labor were saved recgfitly by loading salvaged tin cans into a freight car with a snow loader. The cans were gathered by the department of sanitation in New York City and transported to a plant which reclaims the tin for making war products. Employees of the department shoveled the cans onto the scoop of the loader where they were caught by an endless conveyor and elevated into the car. For loading snow, the machine would be driven into the snow bank with a truck following close by under the conveyor, both vehicles moving along together until the truck is filled.
