The purpose ofthis formation is to prevent the air displaced by the ventilatorfrom escaping around the side of the monitor type roof or overthe top of the arch type roof. The sectional view, Fig. 2, shows the action of the out-side air as it passes over and under the exhaust openings,drawing the vitiated air from the car body through the venti-lator opening.
