. Eggs in cold storage;. EGGS IN COLD STORAGE. 47 lation of air in a cold storage room, which the writer has developed after several seasons' experiment, and which is regarded as very nearly theoretically perfect. In practical working- it gives very superior results, and is believed, by those who are using it, to be in advance of any other system now in use. By referring to the sketch it may be seen that the air is forced to cover very uniformly the entire cross-sec- tion area of the room—a result not possible with any other device.

The air from cooling coils is forced into ducts, a «, and flows out through the perforations. Passing through the piles of eggs, as shown by the arrows, the air moves upward through the perfora- tions in the false ceiling, and thence through space between false ceiling and ceiling, to cooling coils again. This circulation is actuated by an exhauster, or blower, preferably located on the main cold air duct, between the cooling coils and cold air ducts, a a. This has a tendency to put the egg room itself under a slight pressure, and the coil room under a vacuum. In this way the air leakage from outside, if there is.
