1. Materials Handling

2. The unrelieved weight of a heavy motionless mass. Revenue-producing part of a cargo OR total weight of crew, instruments or equipment carried by an aircraft Principles of Handling: Selection Process and Techniques Equipment should be as standardized as possible When in motion, system design should provide maximum continuous product flow Investment should be in handling rather than stationary equipment Handling equipment should be utilized to the maximum extent possible In handling equipment selection the ratio of dead-weight to payload should be minimized Gravity flow should be incorporated in system design

3. Examples of Gravity Flow
