Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Made of marine plywood, a removable bulk body equipped with a conveyorbelt-discharge system has been produced by B. W. Winter and Sons, Watlington, King's Lynn, Norfolk, that is of the dual-purpose type designed for back loads of bagged material, timber and so on. Having a capacity of 768 Cu ft, it can carry a payload of 17 tons of grain or 16 tons of barley when mounted on a suitable six-wheeled chassis. It is available with removable partitions for the carriage of divided loads. A 32ft version for semi-trailer mounting has also been produced.

The endless conveyor belt is operated by an hydraulic motor that is supplied by a pto-driven pump. Twistlocks are used to attach the body to the chassis. Floor boards covering the belt are progressively removed from the rear to the front of the body when material in bulk is being discharged to feed the conveyor continuously.
