Cool Dining
Cars Latest
Pennsylvania Line Offers
Latest in Passenger
Comfort

Designed to increase the comfort
Of passengers by reducing the heat
and noise of summer travel, the
Pennsylvania Railroad has just
placed in service it's latest type din
ing car equipped with an entirely
new air conditioning system. The
new type car, which circulates
cooled and purified air regulated to
any desired temperature. will oper-
ate on some of the Pennsylvania
de luxe passenger trains.
Preliminary tests have shown the
possibility Of maintaining a tenn
with an outside temperature of
more than 100 degrees. Under
actual service conditions, the in
terror of the car can be kept at
least II degrees below the outside
temperature, when desired.
Maximum insulation against cold
as we'll as heat is embodied in the
new Pennsylvania air conditioning
system. The heating and cooling
systems are entirely separate. Ac-
coustic felt has been used to line
the interior of car, materially de-
creasing train noise, in addition to
providing insulation.
The air cooling system in dining
cars or TINS new type CONSISTS OIL
an ice chamber under the car, cool
ing radiators through which ice cold
water from the chamber is circu-
lated, and blowers for circulating
the cooled air through the radiator
coils into the car.
AS the cool air is driven by fans
into the car through vents located
near the ceiling, the warm air is
withdrawn through grilled openings
skillfully fashioned into the wall de-
sign of the car. BY a series of In
genious ducts. this air is recondi-
toned and mixed with fresh air
brought in through intakes located
or each side of the car. The fresh
air is scientifically cleaned and con-
trolled by strainers and hampers as
it passes through the intake.
Because of the automatically
controlled mixing and cooling of the
cars air supply, the outer windows
Of the dining car are permanently
sealed. Passageway doors prevent
the entrance of heat through the
outer doors and halls as diners en-
ter or leave the car.
In keeping with the cooled con-
dition of the cars atmosphere, dec
orations in gray tones, with blue
trimmings, have been used in the
interior design. Metal decorations
are in silver, with walnut chairs
and carpeting of blue and brown de-
sign.
