BULK HANDLING AID.—This queer contraption at the Pahau station, near Culverden, might be confused with a rocket launcher. It is a corrugated iron hopper, or bin, which slopes towards one end so that the wheat tipped into it from a tip truck will flow towards an auger which lifts it into the railway waggon. This hopper is used by the Norrie Brothers, who farm nearby.
