Claims

1. A SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING DISTRIBUTION OF A LOAD BETWEEN A PLURALITY OF CONTAINERS, COMPRISING PRE-SELECTOR MEANS ADAPTED TO BE SET IN ACCORDANCE WITH A DESIRED TOTAL LOAD FOR THE CONTAINERS, MEANS RESPONSIVE TO THE CONDITION IN WHICH SAID PRE-SELECTOR MEANS IS SET IN ACCORDANCE WITH A DESIRED TOTAL LOAD EXCEEDING THAT WHICH WILL FILL A FIRST OF THE CONTAINERS TO A PREDETERMINED LIMIT TO EFFECT ADJUSTMENT OF THE LOAD-CONTENT OF SAID FIRST CONTAINER TOWARDS SAID LIMIT, AND MEANS RESPONSIVE TO THE AFORESAID CONDITION AND ALSO TO THE CONDITION IN WHICH THE FIRST CONTAINER IS FILLED TO SAID LIMIT TO EFFECT ADJUSTMENT OF THE LOAD-CONTENT OF A SECOND OF THE CONTAINERS TOWARDS A FIRST VALUE UNTIL SAID FIRST CONTAINER IS FILLED TO SAID LIMIT AND THEN TOWARDS A SECOND VALUE WHEN SAID FIRST CONTAINER IS FILLED TO SAID LIMIT, THE SAID FIRST VALUE BEING A VALUE WHICH WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR THE LOADCONTENT OF THE SECOND CONTAINER IN THE EVENT THAT A PREDETERMINED MAXIMUM VALUE OF LOAD-CONTENT APPLIED IN RESPECT OF THE FIRST CONTAINER, AND SAID SECOND VALUE BEING THE ACTUAL VALUE APPROPRIATE TO THE LOAD-CONTENT OF THE SECOND CONTAINER WHEN THE FIRST CONTAINER IS FILLED AS AFORESAID.
