[3] DISTRIBUTION OF YOUNG FISH. 41 



for a Baker heater, Avhicli supplies Iieac tlirough i)ipe.s riiuuing under 

 floor grating' to the compartments, without affecting the temperature of 

 the refrigerator chambers in which the tish are transported. 



Phite VI represents the sleeping-berths prei)ared for the occupants, 

 with side doors open for ventilation. 



The end of the car opposite the ofiice is furnished as kitchen and 

 pantry. The pantry is desirably shelved and fitted with tray and 

 drawers. The kitchen space around the stove is arranged for the proper 

 stowage of utensils, and the sink has a waste-pipe through the floor of 

 the car. 



In the same end, on the opposite side of passage, is the pump and 

 blower room. By means of this pump and blower a circulation of water 

 and air is sustained for supply to the young fish in the cans, which are 

 connected by a system of pipes and rubber hose, which permits a per- 

 fect circulation through them. Suspended in each ice-box is a galvan- 

 ized iron tank, separated from the ice by a hinged 3-inch grating, which 

 contains fresh aerated water for supplying the waste through the cir- 

 culating system. The pumi> and blower are actuated by means of a 

 friction roller which bears upon the tread of the truck of the car and 

 communicates its motion to the machine-room by means of belts and 

 pullej^s. 



The load on the car is so distributed as to make it unusually safe and 

 easy running at high rates of speed, and the extra trusses forming the 

 inside walls of the refrigerator chambers give the car superior strength 

 and rigidity.
