Method for Icing Cars by Elec-
tricity Invented.
Santa Fe Man at San Bernar-

ELECTRIC TRAMWAY.
Conveys the Cakes to the Cars

System.
ELECTRIC TRAMWAY.

San Bernardino, Cal, July 15.-Icing
cars by means of electricity is what
was begun at the Santa Fe ice houses
In this city last evening, and it will
only be a matter of ten days until
every car of fruit that is sent out of the
local wards will be iced by means o:
that power The day of the horse ana
tackle has passed, and where a dozen
men were employed in looking after
the cumpany's plant but half that
number will be needed in the future
And not only does the new apparatus
do away with the expense Of several
Iaborers. but it is capable of doing ten
times the amount of work formerly
done by the horse and pulley method
Heretofore the large blocks of ice
which are placed in the refrigeratlnS
cars were handled by a single tackle.
The hooks were placed about the
chunk and it was swung from the
platform to the open top OF the car,
distance of so feet. A rope was then
pulled which released the hooks and
the ice slid into the freezer" This
process required the hands of several
men in the hooking on and releasing
of the ice, besides a horse and driver.
which supplied the power.
The present plan provides what IL
termed a continuous link belt" 50
constructed as to form a tramway.
one end of this is over the platform
where the ice is piled, and the other
extends above the icing track. The
cars are run to point where the open
ing in their tops is directly under the
tiamway. The belt is so made as to
contain number of ice hooks and
these are fastened into the cakes of ice
as fast as the revolutions bring them
over the ice pile. The turning of the
tramway conducts the ice cakes to a
point overhanging the cars, when they
are released automatically and dropped
into the receptacle below.
At present there is but one tram at
work. ii being put into operation last
evening by w. NJ. Parker, who is tho
designer. Another is being installed,
and as fast as Mr.. Parker can con-
struct the apparatus others viii be
put in, until eight have been placed. \
two horse power dynamo is the power
used in running the machinery.
This is the only apparatus of the
kind in use anywhere, and if it proves
as successful as first appearances show
it to be. similar ones will be installed
by the Santa Fe at other points in the
west
Last night 25 cars were loaded by
the new machine, in a much shorter
time than the work could have possibly
been done by hand.
As soon as the additional trans are
put in the ice will be unIoaded in the
same manner as the cars are iced.
