Notes

Trade catalogue issued by the George W. Moore Company of Chicago, manufacturers of elevating and conveying machinery for the grain, milling, feed, cement, coal, ore, and aggregate industries. It illustrates and describes the firm's range of spiral steel conveyors, elevator buckets, boots, heads, distribution spouts, bin gates, loading spouts, belting, sprocket wheels, and related fittings. The closing section serves as a practical engineering reference, bringing together design tables, formulae, capacity charts, and operating data used in planning and sizing conveying and bucket elevator installations. An informative source for the study of early twentieth-century grain-handling equipment and the machinery associated with grain elevators.

No publication date stated. Earliest cancelled price list dated 1922; the catalogue was therefore published no later than that year.
