(various pagings) : ill. ; 28 cmOnline resources: Abstract: In late '92, Alberta staff (Wetter, Stewart, Wohl) undertook a review of the state of the art in flushing bars. The review involved a literature search by the Alberta Farm Machinery Research Center (AFMRC), as well as an internal cross Canada inventory of the experiences of our own and NAWMP affiliated staff. The findings of both are summarized herein. The report concludes that the bars have been in documented use for four or more decades in North America and Europe, with little significant change in the principle of operations. Internally in DU, there are some commonly held views of refinements needed to promote increased and sustained usage by farmers. Quantitative assessment beyond the 1978 Pengelly and Cowan report has been minimal, and a search for alternative methods appears largely unexplored. The report recommends a meeting of selected DU staff with the AMFRC to seek simplified installation and mechanical improvements to the bars, steps to improve inter-office communication on
