Sec. 736.4  Scales; bin numbers.

    (a) Each warehouse must be equipped with suitable scales in good 
order, and so arranged that all grain, whether for storage or for 
nonstorage purposes, can be weighed in and out of the warehouse. The 
scales in any warehouse shall be subject to examination by 
representatives of the Department and to disapproval by the 
Administrator. If he disapproves any weighing apparatus, it shall not 
thereafter be used in ascertaining the weight of grain for the purposes 
of this act, until such disapproval be withdrawn.
    (b) Both bulk grain bins and compartments for sacked grain of all 
warehouses licensed under the act shall be identified by means of 
clearly discernible numbers securely affixed thereto. The series of 
numbers to be used shall be approved by the Service. Bulk grain bins 
shall be numbered so as to be easily identified at the openings on top 
and also on or near the outlet valves underneath. Compartments shall be
