Abstract: 25,049. Murray, T. R. Nov. 17. Corn silos; conditioning and ventilating grain.- An iron or steel cylinder a is divided by smaller cylinders b, c, d, e, into compartments m, n, o, p. A central shaft f surrounds elevators g, h and a stair i arranged in sections. The whole is built on a concrete foundation q having a well r in which the boots of the elevators are arranged. Grain is discharged through a shoot into the boot of the elevator g by which it is delivered to any of the compartments or cylinders. From these, the grain falls by gravity to controllable shoots and thence to the discharging-elevator h and shoot 2. To turn the grain for conditioning &c., it is conveyed by the elevator g to another compartment or returned to the same one. Grain mixers may be arranged in the shoots at the bottom of the compartments. Rigidity is imparted to the structure by connections 5. For drying purposes, the grain is caused to descend an annular chamber surrounding the central shaft and provided with baffleplates ; air is passed through hot lime and forced up the chamber. In this case, an additional elevator is employed to deliver the grain to the top of the drying-chamber. Fig. 3 shows a method of grouping four bins in which the central shaft is dispensed with. The bins are rigidly connected to form a square, in the central division of which an elevator 8 is placed. A charging-conveyer 7 and discharging-conveyer 9 are disposed as shown. In another multiple arrangement of bins, an elevator raises the grain, and a conveyer carries it along the row of bins until it is delivered to the proper bin by a throw-off. The silos are discharged through funnels in the bottom, opening on to a travelling band beneath.
