EQUIPMENT OF AN EGG-BREAKING PLANT. 
of the vestibule should be covered with galvanized iron or other 
metal to permit easy cleaning. By this arrangement, the filled cans 
as soon as weighed may be placed in the can vestibule and later re- 
moved from the freezer side, resulting in a saving of refrigeration 
and labor (fig.l). If the breaking room and freezer are not adjoin- 
ing, trucks are ordinarily used for moving the cans of liquid egg. 
If the plant is large enough to justify the expense of installing 
the chain conveyor, it may be modified by using trays instead of 
hooks for carrying both the pails of shell eggs and cans of liquid 
C2£ from one floor to the next. 
TRANSFER OP EQUIPMENT FOR WASHING. 
A sliding insulated window (figs. 1 and 3) has been found almost 
indispensable for transferring small equipment between the breaking 
and sterilizing rooms. The detail plans for its construction are

given in figure 4. The weight boxes should be built on the steriliz- 
ing room side of the wall. On the breaking room side of the window 
shelves may be erected to hold a supply of small equipment, such 
as cups, knives, and breaking trays for immediate use by the 
breakers. Clean utensils are kept on the two upper shelves, and 
soiled utensils only on the bottom shelf. The equal division of the 
middle shelf, so that one-half may be removed, makes it possible to 
deliver larger apparatus, such as cans and pails, to the sterilizing 
room and vice versa. 
With such a window, the breakers may secure individual pieces 
of equipment as needed, and the operator in the washroom may'
