shall be drawn from the storage bins by a continuous mechanical or electrical feeder, which will
supply the correct amount of aggregate in proportion to the asphalt binder, and so arranged that
the proportion of each aggregate size can be separately adjusted. The fine bin shall be equip-

material while the plant 1s operating. A positive signal system shall be provided to indicate
the level of material in each bin and as the level of material in any one bin approaches the
strike -off capacity of the feed gate, the device will automatically close down the plant instant-

on the asphalt binder pump. The drive shaft on the feeder shall be equipped with a revolution
counter reading to 1/10 of a revolution and of sufficient capacity to register the total number

Aggregate feeders that are electrically driven shall be actuated from the same circuit that
serves the motor driving the asphalt binder pump. An indicating frequency meter, reading to 1/2-
cycle, shall be installed at a convenient location in the circuit leading to the binder pump
motor if non-commercial electrical power is used. A voltage regulating transformer controlling
the current delivery to a maximum variation of one percent shall be installed in the circuit

of the supply voltage shall be installed. Currents for operation of plants equipped with elec-
trically actuated aggregate feeders shall not vary in frequency in excess of one cycle nor in
voltage in excess of 10 percent.
All continuous mixing plants, shall be equipped with a hopper of at least 20 cubic feet
capacity which is divided into as many compartments as there are sizes of aggregate being pro-
portioned, which hopper shall be placed on a scale frame in such a manner that the discharge from
each aggregate feeder may be diverted into separate compartments in the hopper when the feeders
are in Hill operation. The device provided for diverting the discharge from each aggregate feed-
er shall be such that a sample of material from each feeder may be collected and retained in the
hopper without stopping the feeders. The full weight of the loaded hopper shall be indicated on
a springless dial scale of not to exceed 5,000-pound capacity with 5-pound graduations. Each com-
