      abstract = {Excerpts from the report:  Few of the 1,400 cotton  warehouses in use in 1958 were designed for the efficient  use of machines for handling bales of cotton.   Consequently, operators of public warehouses are concerned  about the costs of constructing new storage compartments.   This report contains designs and costs for four different  types of compartments and a warehouse consisting of six  separated compartments.  The warehouse is designed for  storing 40,000 to 50,000 bales and is suitable for areas of  low rainfall, such as the Southwest.  The main objective of  this study was the development of improved floor layouts  and building designs for cotton warehouses which would help  to reduce the costs of handling bales of cotton and to  minimize losses from fire and weather damage.  This report  is intended as a guide for planning public warehouses for  storing cotton; it will not replace the services of  engineers, architects, or builders.},
