 for transferring to the breaking room. 



The egg-breaking outfit consists of a tray, on which is placed an 

 open rack for supporting the cups, and a detachable knife on which 

 the eggs are broken. This knife rests in slots in standards fastened 

 to the ends of the breaking tray. Glass cups should be used for i})<> 

 grading of the opened eggs, because certain types of bad eggs can 

 not be detected in nontransparent containers. When whites and 

 yolks are separated it should be done by means of a sanitary mechani- 

 cal device. 



The egg-breaking tables should be covered with a nonabsorbing 

 material, such as metal or porcelain. 



A churn for mixing the egg before freezing should be provided. 

 It should be constructed so that it can be readily washed and sterilized. 



A lavatory with knee or pedal valve attachment should be installed 

 in the breaking room near the transfer window for the washing of 

 hands after breaking bad eggs. 



White uniforms should be provided for operators in the breaking 

 room. 



The sterilizing room should be furnished with sinks and steam 

 sterilizers. The sinks should be equipped with drains and mechanical 

 rinsers and should be supplied with hot and cold water and connected 

 to trapped drains.
