corn crib questions	Permalink

Anybody know who made a crib that had bolt-together perforated-steel side panels? I saw one once, looked like the old, small 'government' grain bins except for the holes . . . . Also wondering who made a round crib that had vertical wood slats in the steel-framed panels? There used to be one right along I-78 out in Berks County, PA. Had a steel roof like other round cribs, didn't look home-made. __________________

I think I identified one . . .	Permalink

Found an 1950-ish ad for a "Denning" crib from Illinois Wire that had hardwood staves in steel frames with a galvanized roof. __________________

Sears & Roebuck may have sold a wooden crib, also maybe silo companies like Unidalla. I wouldn't know about the steel sheet one. maybe a company that made tanks? Here are some interesting ones. http://stores.ebay.com.au/ADS-AG-N-MORE/SILO-SILO-FILLER-ADS-/_i.html?_fsub=1330338017 __________________

I remember seeing advertisments for a perforated steel liner to convert an ear corn crib into a bin. __________________

I think I found that one, too.	Permalink

I found an ad for a Buckeye crib, looked like a grain bin with 1" holes in the sides. There may have been other builders. I've seen the perforated sheets to convert a Spee-D-Crib to a grain bin, the holes are tiny. __________________
