				Jerome's Elevator

Towering high above the city is the Jerome feed elevator located in back 
of the Badger Turkey Industries processing plant. The big elevator's light 
can be seen from a long distance at night from any direction and serves as 
a beacon for pilots. The elevator is used to store feed for the far flung 
Jerome Turkey enterprises and for storage of grains. An electronic device 
enables the elevator manager to determine the temperature of every storage 
bin, so that temperatures can be controlled to prevent spoilage of the 
grains.
