The crushed coal then fell by gravity into a chute, which led to a receiving bin which was fitted below the back buffer beam of the locomotive, from where it was picked up by a bucket elevator which worked in a large pipe.

Evans had seen diagrams of their use for marine applications and realized with some modification and careful engineering they could be used to raise grain, so a series of bucket elevators around a mill could move grain and flour from one process to the next.

In early designs the coal would still be shovelled by the fireman into a hopper which would feed into a crusher and then a screw or bucket elevator would lift the pulverised coal to a position where it could be mechanically scattered across the burning coals of the furnace by a spreader.

Although several key elements of Evans's designs such as bucket elevators and Archimedean screws were merely modified rather than invented by him, the combination of many machines into an automated and continuous production line was a unique idea that would prove pivotal to both the Industrial Revolution and the development of mass production.

A bucket elevator ( " " Elev�tor " " ) was also built in 1881 in the Bor�ros Square ( today in Ferencv�ros ), which functioned until World War II . Despite the fact that it was an urban project, the city administration leased the Elevator to the Hungarian Exchange Bank for sixty years.
