Experimental shipments in different
kinds of shipping cases and with the
different methods of packing the eggs
III the cases have been made and the
results compared. An instrument has
been devised for measuring and re-
cording the shocks to &hich cars con-
tanning eggs were subjected while in
transit.
AS result of these experiments the
specialists have recommended methods
OF packing eggs which reduce breakage
to a minimum. These methods have
been tried under a great variety of
conditions, and have been incorporated
as requirements in the railroad and eX.
press classitications for the transpor-
tation Of eggs.
Nails in place save claims, 1t is terse-
ly said; and, as shown in figure |,
the number and arrangement of these
necessary in order to conform with
the requirements of the express and
consolidated freight classifications are
as follows:
Threepenny nails, cement coated with
large heads.
is nails for each side, 6, for each end,
s in center.
q nails for bottom, in each end, in
center.
8 nails for top, in each end, for flush
cleat.
nails for top, in each end, for dror
cleat.
Egg packers are advised to be sure
that they use the correct number of
nails.
When 6 paper-covered excelsior mats
are used flats should not be placed be.
tween the mats and the filters. When
cupped trays made Of compressed pulp
are employed, 1t is best to begin by
placing one 25-cup filler, receiving side
downward, on the bottom of the case,
Then place one 16-cup filler, receiving
side upward. on top. nesting it. Fill
the cups with eggs and cover with one
16-cup filler Then place one o5.cur
filler, receiving side upward: fix crus
with eggs and cover with a 25.cun
filler.
Improper packing invites breakace
and figure 5 illustrates poorly packed
case. Sometimes an extremely thin
layer Of excelsior, many times a small
amount of loose paper, or perhaps
nothing at all Is placed on the ton and
bottom, leaving the case loosely packed
and the chances for breakage and loss
are great. Very frequently such Door.
" packed cases have broken and
stained filters and flats, and such q
combination greatly increases the nroh.
ability Of damage.
