The PDF document "Vanishing giants" mentioned by Stein is very valuable , specially on page 15 with a picture of the conveyors gallery because that's exactly what I want to model.
To Kurt: It looks like the HABS/HAER link is temporarily unaccessible , but I'll try again tomorrow.
It's funny but I just checked the thread just above mine .
In his thread about "GERN Industries Gibson Works", that good old DoctorWayne posts a bunch of ... silos pictures.

Hmmm - looks like the HABS/HAER link Kurt posted had a link to a temporary query result. Here is a hopefully more permanent link:
http://lcweb2.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/r?pp...@(ny1669))
You can also find it by starting from http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/collections/habs_haer/ and browsing by place via NY, Erie county, Buffalo - this is the Standard Elevator. The HABS/HAER engineering drawings Kurt mentioned are absolutely worth seeing.
Smile,
