(b) The term “filled compartment” refers to any compartment in which, after loading and trimming as required under Regulation 3, the bulk grain is at its highest possible level.

 

(c) The term “partly filled compartment” refers to any compartment wherein bulk grain is not loaded in the manner prescribed in paragraph (b) of this Regulation.
