There is a modification of the plain belt which is in use at several plants, and which some operators like very much. This belt is illustrated in Fig. 2. Note that it is divided into three partitions by two boards which run lengthwise. These boards are about 3 inches high and are raised a fraction of an inch above the belt so as to allow the belt to slide under them easily. At the head of the belt the board partitions connect in a “V”. The tomatoes strike this V and are guided into the two outer channels, where they are given a hasty inspection by the first four sorters, who throw all those which are perfectly sound into the center partition. As the tomatoes which remain in the two outside partitions pass down to the rest of the sorters they are inspected, the bad parts cut out, and the good part thrown into the center partition. The bad parts which are cut out are left on the outside partitions, where they are carried along into two waste barrels, which are provided for this purpose at the end of the belt.
