Car No. 25SO has the space between theice baskets divided into three compart-ments by means of two insulated woodenbulkheads. The middle compartment is6 ft. ZYi ins. long, and is used for quickloading and unloading of cans and boxesfrom and to station platforms. The cansand boxes may be transferred to or fromthe other two compartments, which con-tain the refrigeratiiiK apparatus, while the.

In the designs used it wasintended to utilize every available meansregardless of past practices to provide acar that would furnish and maintainadequate refrigeration for milk andcream, either with ice placed in the ice The bulkhead, in front of the ice cham-ber, should be solid, with an air inlet intothe ice chamber, close to the ceiling, andan outlet into the car, close to the bulkhead should be made of non-conducting material, or should be insu-lated to promote dry refrigeration. Thefloor should be smooth to permit slidingthe milk cans into place, and to providea Hat liase for racks when the car is used train is in niotiuii. In this car the sidedoors ar
