calibrated hopper Explanation: This assumes it's fairly large. Calibrated so that you can measure amounts that are downloaded -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 53 mins (2008-02-23 11:38:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The "calibrated" is fine, but please see BD Finch for correction! |

| Post grading - Dévouteur doseur Bridge-breaking metering system Explanation: We don't know that it is a screw system, though possibly Asker has based her choice on secret information. "Dévoûteur" means there is a system that prevents the material in the hopper, etc. bridging, i.e. setting in an arch at some point, causing a void below and preventing material from above falling into that void and thus effectively preventing discharge from the bottom. |
