As a further protection from the ice, the walls and inside of the door of the ice-chamber are provided with fenders of oak impregnated with paraffin. These fenders, moreover, prevent the ice from slipping out of place, so that all the water from its melting falls into the drip-pan. The ice-chamber readily accommodates 200 pounds of ice. The lower door opens into the storage chamber. Just inside of this door two galvanized iron doors are hung one above the other. One of these is shown in section in Fig. 4. They are designed to minimize the loss of cold air when access is desired to the upper shelves of the storage chamber. The storage chamber contains. Fig. 4 —Horizontal Section of Refrigerator and Incubator. (D'agonal hatching indicates cork-bmrd; other hatching, wood.) approximately 17^ cu. ft. The five shelves within it, as shown in Fig. 2, are supported by runners of angle iron and are easily removed. This arrangement of shelves affords about 27 sq. ft. of shelf space. One of the shelves is designed for cooling gelatin plates. Construction of incubators.— As shown in Figs. 2-A, the four incubators, each of 7 cu. ft. capacity, are built together as a single unit. This arrangement, as well as the shape of the chambers, was made necessary by the space available; but as a result the walls are so thin as to allow some heat transference from incubator to incu- bator, and the chambers so high as to bring about a difference of one or two degrees in temperature between top and bottom. Had each chamber been built separately, the insulation would have been more complete and the incubators, at the same time, would have.
