To the Honorable the Common Council,
Gentlemen: To your Committee on
Sequachee Valley news. (Sequachee [Sequatchie], Tenn.) 1896-1952, 1916-10-12
HOT BOX COOLERS
NJ, c. & St. |. Experimenting
With Device Which May
Prevent Delays.

Upon recommendation of the
central safety committee the
Nashville, Chattanooga & St.
Louis Railway recently purchased
two hot box coolers for expert
mental purposes, and these are
being tried out on the Paducah
and Memphis division with very
satisfactory results.
The hot box cooler consists of
. strong canvas container with a
tube which enables a stream of
water to play upon the heated sur
face and permits the car with the
hot box to remain in the train and
thereby eliminates the loss of time
in setting out the car or the ne
cessity for "brassing." The
cooler may be attached to the side
Of the car, and when not in use is
folded up and kept in the caboose.
Within the short time the COOL
ers have been in use, eight hot
boxes have been successfully
treated and delays in shipments
in these cars of from twelve to
tWentv-four hours prevented. In
some instances hot boxes have
caused fires which have DESTROY
ed the car and contents.
The object of the committee in
recommending the use of the
hot box coolers was to facilitate
the safe handling of shipments
and at the same time guard
against possible delays to traffic.
In all probability the test will be
carried to other divisions.
