...a mechanized conveyor system which transports grain from the grain elevator to the vessel.

CONT

Conveyor belts inside the galleries transfer grain from scales to shipping spouts. The height of the galleries permit ships with high superstructures to be loaded and as the galleries can extend into deeper water, vessels with deeper draft can berth alongside. Shipping galleries can also provide a greater number of berths as ships can tie up on each side of the gallery.

[...] La hauteur des galeries au-dessus de l'eau permet de charger des bateaux à superstructures élevées et, en eaux plus profondes, les bateaux à plus fort tirant d'eau peuvent s'amarrer plus facilement à l'appontement. Les appontements permettent à plus de bateaux de s'amarrer puisque les bateaux peuvent s'y placer de chaque côté.

OBS

Furniture springs must be fastened in place.... the bottoms of the springs are... fastened to the webbing. The tops of the springs have to be kept in place and at the same height. But they must be able to move up and down at the same time without getting out of line or pulling the other springs out of position. These problems are overcome by tieing the springs so they cannot move sideways or too high but can move downward and remain in place. In learning to tie springs you will have to learn several new knots and ways of fastening the heavy twine used.
