Railroad Tries
Cooling Device

Trial of a new device for cooling
sleeping and passenger cars en-
route is being made by the Southern
Pacific railway company in the
Pullman car Gloucester which
left Los Angeles on the Golden
State limited Sunday, according to
W. Donohue, district freight and
passenger agenc.
The car now is enroute to Chicago
via Southern Pacific and Rock
Island lines and is the third Of a
series Of experiments of this type.
More than 10000 cubic feet of
fresh air are delivered into the car
per minute. The device permits car
windows to be kept closed. thus
preventing both heat and dust from
entering. F'res.a air enters through
tubes which have been cooled by
evaporation Of water outside the
ConVeyors.
The device now on trial is said to
be entirely new and different from
those tried by other railroads. It
is hoped this device will operate
successfully on transcontinental
trains, said Donohue.
