' I 9 j The: mechanism for .driving the shafts of the drag from the-shaft '29 ofthe elevator .is shown in Figs. 1', 2*, 5'; 9 and 10;. where" .it"willbe"seen that theshaft 29 has on the o -lter-enditheneof the sprocket-wheel 3$-(lr"iv ing'.

It is to permit the drag to be swung around at either side'thereof that I- employ theofi-set ar-V 'rangement of the sprocket-chains 39 and i3, audit. will :be apparent that I might secure the same result 'by-"'employing' a single sprocket-chain 39', as shown 111 Fig. 3, and

A pin 108 projecting up om the rod 100-engages the end piece 107, so that the plate 106 moves back and forth with the side board as it is adjusted longitudinally; 'The forward end of the plate is guided by the angle-iron pieces 109 and 1-10. The piece 109 is secured on the top of the side iece and its vertical flange is ata sufiicient istance therefrom so as to make a guide-way for the top of the plate 106 and the lower angle-iron 110 has its horizontal flange set into the side of the trough as shown, and-its vertical 'fiange at a suitable distance therefrom so as to furnish the channel for thelower' portion of the plate 106.

It will be apparent that the side board '33 of-the cross. conveyer constitutes a shiftable chute on one side thereof, which cooperates with the stationary side portion 88,,which,
with its straps 102' and 105, constitutes a supporting and guiding member (ifv greater I length than the chute sup orted thereby;
