American" passengers will now go
upstairs to bed, much as they would
do if they were at home. The car,
however, is still in an experimental

Ernest Flagg, well known designer

responsible for this innovation in
night travel. It's effect is to give
added comfort with no increased
cost.
The new car is divided into COM

on what may be called "the ground

overhead in pairs. In the lower
compartment during the daytime a
couch and easy chair form the fur

wall, another couch is pulled out
and, uniting with the first, is made
into a double bed.
Entry to this compartment is
