This is an 'H' type bin built in 1939. These çwere designed for CBH by engineer Robert Sticht. ç It has 11 curved bays of corrugated iron on each ç side supported by vertical timber posts with çinternal tie rods. The roof is of corrugated çiron sheeting supported by timber columns in a çgrid pattern. The iron sheeting on the side of çthe roof apex facing the railway line could be çreadily removed to permit inloading and çoutloading of grain. Original floors were of çflat iron sheeting over sleepers. These were çlater removed and replaced by terolas laid over çcompacted gravel. A portable CBH elevator was çused for inloading the grain and also served for çoutloading, coupled with a Clarke shovel. A door ç in a side bay at the northern end of the bin çwas used when outloading. There were sheet çmetal shutes for use in conjunction with the çelevator.
