1. MECHANISM FOR CONTINUOUSLY DETERMINING AND RECORDING THE MOLDABILITY INDEX OF GRANULAR MATERIAL COMPRISING AN ELONGATED HOLLOW CYLINDRICAL MEMBER HAVING IMPERFORATE END SECTIONS AND A PERFORATED CENTRAL SECTION, MEANS MOUNTING THE ELONGATED CYLINDRICAL MEMBER IN A POSITION INCLINED TO THE HORIZONTAL, MEANS FOR FEEDING A CONTINUOUS SAMPLE OF THE GRANULAR MATERIAL INTO THE UPPER END OF THE CYLINDRICAL MEMBER, MEANS FOR ROTATING THE CYLINDRICAL MEMBER TO ADVANCE THE SAMPLE OF GRANULAR MATERIAL TO THE LOWER END THEREOF, A TROUGH POSITIONED BENEATH THE PERFORATE PORTION OF THE CYLINDRICAL MEMBER, MEANS FOR VIBRATING THE TROUGH TO ADVANCE GRANULAR MATERIAL RECEIVED THEREIN THROUGH THE PERFORATE SECTION OF THE CYLINDRICAL MEMBER TOWARD ONE END OF THE TROUGH, A SEMI-CIRCULAR SHIELD SECURED TO THE TROUGH EXTENDING FOR SUBSTANTIALLY ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY DEGREES ABOUT THE CYLINDRICAL MEMBER, A TORSION BALANCE POSITIONED BENEATH THE TROUGH AND CYLINDRICAL MEMBER INCLUDING A PAIR OF BALANCE PLANES, ONE OF WHICH IS LOCATED TO RECEIVE THAT PORTION OF THE SAMPLE OF GRANULAR MATERIAL PASSING ENTIRELY THROUGH THE CYLINDRICAL MEMBER, THE OTHER OF WHICH IS LOCATED TO RECEIVE THAT PORITON OF THE SAMPLE OF GRANULAR MATERIAL PASSING OVER THE ONE END OF THE TROUGH, A LIGHT SENSITIVE SOURCE OF ELECTRIC ENERGY, A SOURCE OF LIGHT DIRECTED TOWARD THE LIGHT SENSITIVE SOURCE OF ELECTRIC ENERGY, A LIGHT SHIELD CARRIED BY THE BALANCE AND POSITIONED BETWEEN THE LIGHT SENSITIVE SOURCE OF ELECTRIC ENERGY AND LIGHT SOURCE MOVABLE WITH THE BALANCE TO REGULATE THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT FALLING ON THE LIGHT SENSITIVE SOURCE OF ELECTRIC ENERGY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MOLDABILITY OF THE SAMPLE OF GRANULAR MATERIAL AS DETERMINED BY THE SEPARA-
