Sec. 740.5  Scales; bin and compartment numbers.

    (a) Each warehouse must be equipped with suitable scales in good 
order, and so arranged that all nuts, 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 nuts for the purposes 
of this Act, until such disapproval be withdrawn.
    (b) Both bulk bins and compartments for sacked nuts 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 bins shall be 
numbered so as to be easily identified at the openings on top and also 
on or near the outlets. Compartments shall be numbered in such a manner 
as to clearly show the space covered by each number.
