We always called the chain conveyor the "drag", and the tunnel in the crib was the "drag tunnel". I have no idea how it got that name and I don"t know if it was a name used only in this locality or not. The drag came in sections about twelve or forteen feet long and they were carried fron their storage racks on the side of the sheller and assembled together end to end and then pushed into the drag tunnel with a tractor loader. If I remember right, most shellers wouldn"t use a drag longer than 48 feet because the drive gears on the shellers around this area were only designed for that much pull. After the crib was empy the drag would be pulled out with a chain, disassembled and put back on the storage racks. Of course this was after we had been working like a dog in the crib for several hours so putting them away was not a job we looked forward to.
