Sloped belts hold their load with moving cleats (t42); sloped filters are downhill shaking screens (t43)

The magic grip is gone: cleats every 8 face cells, 6 grains tall, carry
pockets uphill (about 71 grains/s against 90 flat) and overflow rolls
back. Sloped filters always run downhill; grains travel by gravity and
a shake, and sorting stays exact. Drawing needs another pass.
