Спасибо, мой друг!

What's a Bartlett elevator?

@Kempy72
Nothing exotic . It’s just the business name for a grain handling and elevator company in the US, one of the largest such enterprises.

So they handle grain and manufacture and maintain elevators??

@Kempy72
No, I'm sorry, in the US we call the big grain silos "elevators", but really the buildings are just a means of raising the grain far enough above the ground to distribute it into various bins and silos. They have devices which have plastic buckets attached to moving belts which vertically convey the grain from a truck dump pit to the top of the silos. Those devices may be the actual "elevators" referred to.in the name of the grain handling complexes, but which look nothing like an elevator suitable for people.
As it tuns out, many large concrete elevators have been closed over the last twenty years as grain companies move to smaller facilities to store and process grain into flour and other food ingredients. In North Kansas City alone, three of the four big concrete elevators/flour mills have been demolished and the fourth one abandoned due to age and disrepair.
I hope that is a clearer description of the terminology. .

Thanks! There’s a lot of grain in Australia and a good portion of it goes by rail to the port or a factory. I see grain trains all the time at the moment. Lots of Silos out in the country with rail sidings, load from the top, get to somewhere Ike Port Kembla in Wollongong and dump it out of the bottom at the ‘Grain Terminal.’
