box. The belt cover is a piece of .060 styrene filed and
sanded to shape. Next, cut a piece of .060 I-beam to the
width between the channels and glue it at the end of the
channels under the platform.
Cut two small pieces of .060 I-beam and glue them parallel to
the bottoms of each channel approximately 3’ from the end
of the conveyor away from the motor.
Paint this assembly with the same rust color used previously.
When the paint is dry, make the belt from a strip of masking
tape and paint it a grimy black color.
Photos 43a and 43b show the small conveyor in position at
the top end of the tower.
