[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 645594, member: 4386"] I'm a bit doubtful if it had even that formality. In my experience it can even mean "wheelbarrow load" and "bucket-load". Often it simply seems to mean the last "crushing" or similar - simply the amount they put through the last time they turned on the crusher to treat some ore or opened the dam to sluice a load of gravel that had accumulated since last time they treated anything. Or simply the amount brought up the shaft in the last bucket. In most cases that I have seen it would not give any useful information anyway. [/QUOTE]
