Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed for feeding animals in at least two stages of development. The apparatus includes animal feeding places arranged in two adjacent, opposing rows which physically isolate one group of animals from a second group of animals. The two rows can be controlled and operated independently of each other, to provide different predetermined amounts of dry feed and water to the feeding places in each of the two rows.A feed supply duct is provided above each of the feeding places. The lower outlet ends of the feed supply ducts have a square cross-sectional area for more efficient delivery of dry feed to the feeding places. Feed is measured and discharged into each of the feeding places in a row by a movable feed pushing plate which pushes a predetermined amount of feed into the feeding places from beneath the lower outlets of the ducts in that row.

Abstract: A fuse recloser for placing a fuse in a vertically oriented fuse holder includes a channel-shaped fuse shoe pivotally mounted within a channel-shaped support. The side arms of the shoe and support flex and the shoe releasably grips a fuse. The exterior of the fuse shoe includes cam surfaces which engage with the outer ends of the support which serve to collapse the shoe onto the fuse while permitting a forced release of the fuse shoe from the support. A release lever is provided for initial separation of the fuse shoe and support, after which the shoe is readily removed from the fuse. A U-shaped handle extends from the support outwardly and then rearwardly in offset relation to the support. A flexible line is secured to the outer end of the offset handle member with a fuse in the shoe and the shoe within the support. The one end of the fuse is placed in lower pivotal mount on the fuse holder and depends downwardly therefrom with the offset handle member extending upwardly.
