Transportation of Eggs.
People tend to forget that the egg was one of the hardest commodities to transport, it was easy enough to go from the root to the home with the basket. The problems started initially on the carts and waggons and the age old problem was solved with the development of the egg carton.
The invention of the train demanded the development of wooden racks and waggons designated just for eggs with ceiling vents, these were usually painted white to start with and later blue and white. What had been gained here went on to trucks and vans, as long as the eggs could not move to much they stayed intact.
Today with the cartons, accidents will still happen but new development in controlled cooling allows the egg to have a slightly longer life to enable it to travel longer distances than ever before!
HAPPY EASTER.
