rolls, or to an endless moving conveyor, or in the nature of
an advantageous, an endless travelling conveyor-belt; and the
said belt is caused to deliver the deposited solid material by
an upward direction so as to bring the solid matter on said
belt to a point where the action of the mill cuts, or the said
