is allowed to run out at the doors, or through cracks in the floors. 

 The other type of car is provided with ice bunkers or brine tanks. 

 In these cars the bunkers are located in the ends of the car and have 

 a ratio of ice to loading capacity of about 1 to 11 cubic feet. In 

 some of the more recent designs of milk cars a mixture of salt and

One of the latest designs of refrigerator cars for use in trans- 

 porting milk, employing a mixture of brine and ice, is constructed 

 with two refrigerator compartments, each having a floor capacity 

 of 160 46-quart cans, 13 inches in diameter. The volume of the 

 refrigerating compartment is 1,468 cubic feet. The design of brine
