serew systems and others are employed in expressing the 
pil from Beans, but the process of expressing Manchurian 
Beans for obtaining Bean Cake and Bean Oil remains the 
same. Therefore, the relative quantities of Beans as raw 
material and Bean Cake and Bean Oil as products are, 
generally speaking, fixed, and, moreover, little difference 
is noted in the quality of the products. 
In turning out a piece of Bean Cake of ordinary size, 
eligible for Mixed Storage, the amount of Beans required, 
although subject to variation according to years, the time 
of manufacture, the quality of Beans, and the water per- 
centage, averages at 49.4 “‘kin®’, out of whieh 5.06 “‘kin”’ 
{10.24 per cent) Bean Oil and a piece of Bean Cake are 
obtainable. A piece of Cake will weigh 47 “kin” or 47.5 
“kin’’ immediately after being put out, but, when booked 
for Mixed Storage a few days later, more or less decrease 
in weight to 46.5 “kin’’ or more, that is the standard 
weight, will be noted.
