      abstract = {Excerpts from the report:  Wide variations exist among the  types of operations in apple packing plants.  There are  great differences in the volumes handled, and many  different types of equipment, methods, and containers are  used.  The constant development of new equipment and new  operating methods, all meant to benefit packinghouse  operators, are accompanied by new marketing procedures,  changing consumption patterns, and evolving marketing  services and institutions.  How is an operator to know  which methods and which equipment are best suited to his  requirements?  Which will perform at the least cost to him?   The purpose of this report is to provide cost and  performance data for packing lines in common use in the  Northeast, so that each operator can determine the relative  advantages of each line according to his own requirements.   Eight plants were studied, typical of four widely used  types of plants in the area.},
