 metal to permit easy cleaning. By this arrangement, the filled cans 

 as soon as weighed may be placed in the can vestibule and later re- 

 moved from the freezer side, resulting in a saving of refrigeration 

 and laboy (fig.l). If the breaking room and freezer arc not adjoin-

A sliding insulated window (figs. 1 and 3) has been found almost

 breakers. Clean utensils are kept on the two upper shelves, and 

 soiled utensils only on the bottom shelf. The equal division of the 

 middle shelf, so that one-half may be removed, makes it possible to 

 deliver larger apparatus, such as cans and pails, to the sterilizing 

 room and vice versa. 



With such a window, the breakers may secure individual pieces 

 of equipment as needed, and the operator in the washroom may
