Freight Container Bureau Engineer
Addresses Peach Shippers
During the past two weeks Mr. F.
C. Iliff, an Engineer of the
Container Bureau, 30 Vesey Street,
New York City, has addressed peach
shippers at Fort Valley, Thomaston,
Bamesville, Gray, Bradley, Monticel
lo, Hampton, Griffin, Byron and other
shipping points, on the proper and
most economical and efficient method
of crate assembly and basket closing,
and the loading, stowing, stripping,
and bracing the crates in the car. The
addresses and conferences were illus
krated by means of making actual
field tests on the crates showing the
type of failures, the reasons for such
failures and the way in which they
can be remedied by using the proper
Bumber and spacing of nails without
imposing an extra or added expense
to the grower, packer or shipper. He
also illustrated his talks by models
of the different methods of takoig up
^lack, bracing the crates against the
possibility of shifting, and bracing
partial layers of crates when only a
few stacks are loaded in the ends of
the car one layer higher than the
rest of the load. The points brought
out were interesting and instructive
in that they brought to the attention
of the growers and shippers points
not heretofore known or realized.
On the crate assembly, Mr.
pointed out that unless the proper
number and spacing ot nails were
used, the best results could not be
obtained, even if crate shooks and ex¬
cellent quality were used. In the nail¬
ing of bottom slats he pointed out
that to be effective six nails should
be used in the bottom at each end of
crate, or a total of twelve nails. Care
must be taken to see that the nails
are not driven at the mortice and
tenon joint as they have little or no
holding power when driven at these
poutls and are ineffective. He point¬
ed out that the possibility of driving
the nails into the joints at the bot¬
tom could be eliminated by placing
the two bottom slats close together
leaving all open spaces at the sides
of the crate. When bottoms are of the
“made up” or cleated construction, six
nails are necessary in each end, ns
the weight of fruit packed is the
same as in the case of a two slat inl¬
cleated bottom and these six nails
are actually required to prevent the
bottom from coming loose in the
packing house during packing, handl¬
ing and loading, and in transit and
at destination during unloading.
In nailing the sides to the end
frames, four nails at each end of
each side (eight nnils per side) are
necessary to prevent the side from
loosening and falling off and also to
brace the crate against collapse or
crushing. The latter type of failure
is very common, especially when the
load is not tightly stowed. By driving
one nail in each outside slat, two in¬
ches away from the mortice joint,
and two nails in the middle slat about
one or one quarter inches apart, a
bracing effect to the crate is brought
about that will tend to minimize the
failure of collapsing. When only one
nail is used in the middle slat, this
nail acts as a pivot around which the
crate side can rotate and this meth¬
od of nailing aggravates rather than
prevents the tendency to collapse or
crush. He illustrated this very mi
pressively by putting the crate on one
bottom edge of the end frame and
pressed on fjhe diagonally opposite
top edge. nails used
When only three were
in the side in each end frame the
crate was easily crushed, but when
fpqr were used he could not crush the

satisfaction that his points and argu
ments in favor of the four nails in
each end of sides are correct,
In nailing the top four nails are
necessary in each end (eight in all),
In this case too, nails should be kept
away from the mortise and tenon
joint.
| Summary of assembling crates:
1. Keep sides and bottom pieces
flush with the end frames to permit
tight and even stowing.
2. Use 4-penny cement coated nails,
3. 12 nails to botton—6 each end—
slats close together.
4. 10 nails to sides—8 each side-—
4 each end.
5. 8 nails to tops—4 each end.
6. Keep all nails two inches away
from corner joints. A nail driven
into the mortice joint is wasted,
