Duality Approaches to Economic Lot‐Sizing Games

A removable, polymeric conveyor link and conveyor utilizing such a link are disclosed. The link is essentially an elongated body of tough, hard slightly flexible elastomer with at least a pair of spaced, parallel, cylindrical cavities in which are disposed rod locking devices. The conveyor is constructed of metal rods, generally round in cross-section, wherein at least a pair of spaced metal rods are held in position by flexible elastomer spacers (fixed links) near each end whereby the end rods protrude through such spacers and then are joined by the removable elastomer links having rod locking sleeves.
