MODERN DINING CARS.
Where Big Things Are Done In q Very
Limited Space.

Limited space.
The modern dining car Is a concrete
example Of doing big things in little
space. The passenger who eats his
meals three times a day. with every
thing spick and span and as well cook
ed as he could hope to find at any ho
tel ION land" probably does not give
a great deal Of thought to the system
which makes dining on train pos
slble. ''
The average dining car Is about six.
ty-hve or seventy feet long. The kitch.
en- and pantry occupy about one.eighth
Of this space The rest Is taken up
with the stewards sideboard and the
dining room. In the Inter there are
on an average five or six tables seat.
Ing four people Oh one side Of the
car and about six tables seating two
people along the opposite side. with
an aisle between.
In the narrow space reserved for
the kitchen and pantry about two
thirds the width Of the car-must be
found room for the range, the refrig.
erntor and the pantry and storage for
linen. glassware and such vegetables as
do not require Ice. Three and four
men do the cooking and dlshwashing.
So narrow Is the space leading to the
kitchen that only one waiter with q
loaded tray Can pass at q time. Yet
there are three and four walters to a
car. and they must serve as high as
100 and. In a pinch. over 200 people at
a meal. To do this takes system and
saaad
