They brought cocoa-beans in caravans and boatloads for a while, and they said it was many years since they'd had such a harvest, or such a tremblor, and Himself was a great magician. The time went by. I heard in Corazon one day that Captain Rickhart had put into port there on his back voyage, and inquired some for us, but that was a month before.
The cocoa-beans are shipped to Europe in bags containing from one to one and a half hundredweight, and are disposed of by the London brokers nearly every Tuesday in the year at a special sale in the Commercial Sale Room in Mincing Lane.
By means of the lift all the raw materials, sugar, cocoa, packing, etc., are carried up to the store-rooms . Here are the machines for cleansing and picking the raw cocoa-beans, which are fed into the elevator boxes above the cleansing machine , which frees them from dust; they then pass to the continuous band on which they are picked over, and from which they fall into movable boxes . They are thence transferred to the hoppers , and fed by opening a slide in the hopper, into the roasting machine . The quantity contained in the hoppers is sufficient to charge the roasting machine.
