Excerpt from Loading American Grapes
Load Climax baskets of the 12-quart size 7 high, 4-quart size 12 high, and 2-quart size 15 high. Load all other packages to a height of not less than 48 inches nor more than 60 inches from the bottom of the first layer.
Bushel baskets, hampers, and miscellaneous boxes are not satisfactory packages for grapes, for they can not be loaded safely with economy.
All types of grape packages carry best when loaded by the straight system, i. E., with all pack ages end to end extending from one ice bunker to the other. In every other layer of Climax baskets it is necessary to load those that touch the bulk head crosswise of the car in order to fill in the otherwise vacant spaces, but this should not be permitted anywhere else in the load.
All slack should be taken up as the packages are being loaded, using racks to fill out at the end of the car when there is surplus space.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the shipping practices of American grape farmers during the 1917 harvest, a time when the industry faced unique challenges due to wartime conditions. Utilizing data collected from various shipping hubs and markets, the author analyzes the factors that contributed to grape damage during transport, such as the types of packaging used, loading techniques, and the construction of railcars. The book highlights the importance of careful loading to minimize crushing, emphasizing the 'straight' system of loading, where baskets are placed parallel to each other and snugly against their neighbors. The author also discusses the negative effects of "crosswise" loading, mixed loads, poorly constructed railcars, and uneven car floors. The book concludes by underscoring the significance of understanding these factors to reduce damage and ensure the safe transportation of grapes. Its insights remain relevant today, providing valuable guidance to agricultural professionals and anyone interested in efficient and sustainable shipping practices.
