Used engine cleaner to remove some of the oil from the underside of the car. Now I can move around the car with out getting 'as' filthy.

Cleaned the air filter out which had a tremendous layer of oily build up. Car wouldn't idle yesterday but did after I re-assembled the air cleaner. Found a Wick air cleaner at All Parts Auto on Meridian and Branham.

Installed new negative longer battery cable, positive and negative terminals. Used some baking soda to clean out the battery support area.

Torqued the oil strainer plug to just under 10ft/lbs. Car still leaking oil but at least it doesn't appear to be the oil plugs or the oil filter. Maybe it's the oil cooler seals??? Will find a diagram and hopefully some pictures of the locations to see if that might be the area of the leak.

The tree limb crack appears to be located on the right limb that already broke off. Didn't see any damage on the limb that extends over the house.

Shuffle Feed Sizing Mechanism

Abstract
A shuffle feed sizing structure wherein articles are progressed from valley to valley over a shuffle feed mechanism and as they progress the article advancing face of the shuffle feed member provides a sizing opening of a given width so that the articles small enough to fall through the opening are discharged downwardly beneath the shuffle feed at this point. Various widths of sizing opening are provided between the faces of the shuffle feed as required and the largest articles are discharged over the end. Means are also provided for ejecting articles from a sizing opening if they tend to become wedge or if they remain in front of the sizing opening but are too large to pass through the opening.
