Abstract

Excerpts from the report: There are a number of patterns or arrangements in which bales of cotton can be stored. In general, these storage arrangements differ with respect to the accessibility of given random bales, and therefore with respect to the effort, time, and cost involved in breaking such bales out of storage. Storage is a principal service provided by cotton compresses and warehouses. The single, physical operation of placing bales in a block or stack--after delivery to the storage point--is called storing, as distinguished from other handling operations. Bales are removed from storage through an operation known as breaking out. This operation consists of removing bales from blocks or stacks and setting them in a temporary block in the main aisle for later pick-up by transporting equipment. Transporting these bales from the storage area to the loading platform, compress area, or to any other part of the warehouse is regarded as a separate operation.
