You think you got spreaders?
Here in Iowa we have lots of grain elevators. Grain is elevated by a
long auger and destributed to the silos and bins by gravity. That;s why they call it an elevator. They use spreaders to keep some of the tubes from buckling. One in Winterset [John Wayne's home town] is rediculous. They have four struts extending outward, and four more connecting the outer ends. Total eight, forming a square and diagonals. Seven sets, Fifty six struts. Damnest thing you ever saw. Casady |
