Many years ago here in Iowa and probably any state that had an inside elevator some corn cribs and graineries had dump blocks. Many of you guys know about them I'm sure. Dump blocks were two thick planks that were recessed in the floor and hinged so the back of the plank went down into the floor and the front of the planks went up.

The back wagon wheels went down in the floor and the front wheels went up and the grain went out the back of the wagon and into the elevator pit. A farm dad bought had a crib with dump blocks but the mechanical mechanism was removed before we were involved with it. A farm had a fancy grain unloading system if it had a crib or grainery with an inside elevator with a pit and dump blocks.
