The report, second in the current series concerning research on glued unitized loads, summarizes the results of the recent trial shipment of sugar packed in multi-wall paper bags. The scope of the investigation was to confirm the laboratory findings on the functional usefulness of a palletizing adhesive and glue applicator under Navy Contract and, secondly, to analyze those operations peculiar to the supplier, railroad and supply depot which are or can be influenced by the use of glued unit loads. Results obtained from the experimental glued shipments, presented herein, indicate the interim acceptability of the new adhesive for bonding 'ocean shipment' multi-wall bags constructed in accordance with Federal Specification UU-S-48b, and the possibility of substantial economies by using properly designed glued loads on the standard 40 inch x 48 inch wood pallets for shipments sent from the supplier's plant to a military depot.
