Figure 176. Slaughter House. The house should be twelve feet 

 wide. It may be any length to provide storage, but 12x12 makes a 

 good beef skinning floor. The windlass shaft should be ten feet 

 above the floor, which requires twelve-foot studding. The wheel is 

 eight feet in diameter and the winding drum is about ten inches. 

 The animal is killed on the incline outside of the building and it lies 

 limp against the revolving door. The door catch is sprung back and 

 the carcass rolls down onto the concrete skinning floor.
