Abstract
Referring to that part of the paper by Mr. Case dealing with the use of continuous belts for transporting concrete materials for the New York anchorage it may be of interest to review some considerations which led to the choice of that method. While the horizontal distance from the unloading dock to the mixers was only 1 000 ft, the ground level at the mixers was 100 ft higher than at the unloading dock, and the top of the storage bins 60 ft above the ground, making the vertical distance which the material was to be transported 160 ft, or about one-sixth as much as the horizontal distance.
