Rotary Tipple - Argo Gold Mill
Rotary Tipple - Argo Gold Mill

From a sign at the site:

Ore carts rolled into the tipple three at a time to unload into the wooden bins below. The tipple then moved along the rails to the desired bin, rotated 180 degrees unloading the ore by gravity feed. Each mine stored ore in a separate bin.
