392 CORK INSULATION<br />

the <str<strong>on</strong>g>insulati<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> in the walls of the cabinet as to guarantee the<br />

permanent thermal efficiency of the cabinet, the small low<br />

pressure carb<strong>on</strong> dioxide type of machine was adapted to retail<br />

ice cream cabinet refrigerati<strong>on</strong> loads, and took the field from<br />

the fracti<strong>on</strong>al-t<strong>on</strong> high pressure amm<strong>on</strong>ia machine.<br />

These c<strong>on</strong>siderati<strong>on</strong>s are briefly set forth here, emphasized<br />

in their relati<strong>on</strong> to <str<strong>on</strong>g>insulati<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g>, merely to show the part <strong>cork</strong>-<br />

board played in the preliminary research and engineering<br />

development work incident to the beginnings of what is now<br />

a large industry—the mechanical ice cream cabinet industry,<br />

which the Crouse-Tremaine interests, of Detroit, Michigan,<br />

are given c<strong>on</strong>siderable credit for having pi<strong>on</strong>eered.<br />

161.—Typical Details of Ice Cream Cabinet C<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong>.<br />

— It would serve little purpose to illustrate in this book all<br />

the different makes and types of ice cream cabinets—ice and<br />

salt cabinets and mechanical cabinets—manufactured in the<br />

United States, and for that reas<strong>on</strong> but a very few of them,<br />

selected at random, are shown and described* in this Article<br />

BROOKS NEW DOUBLE ROW TWO-TEMPERATURE<br />

DRYPAK CABINET.<br />

Frame.—Built of 2 x 2 l<strong>on</strong>g leaf heart pine lumber, possessing great<br />

tensile strength and durability, without excessive weight. This material<br />

c<strong>on</strong>tains a large amount of turpentine and rosin that prevents decay.<br />

The Bottoms.—Made of 1-inch gulf cypress are str<strong>on</strong>g and securely<br />

fastened to the frame, reinforced with skids made of l<strong>on</strong>g leaf heart pine.<br />

The bottoms of the Brooks Drypak Cabinets are made to hold their weight.<br />

They can never sag or be pushed out.<br />

Pure <str<strong>on</strong>g>Cork</str<strong>on</strong>g>board Insulati<strong>on</strong>.—The <str<strong>on</strong>g>insulati<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> is extra heavy pure <strong>cork</strong>board,<br />

c<strong>on</strong>sisting of 6 inches in the bottom and 4 inches in the sides and<br />

ends. We do not attempt to save <strong>cork</strong> by tapering the <str<strong>on</strong>g>insulati<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> in the<br />

side walls, as it is just as necessary to keep the heat out at the top of the<br />

side walls as it is at the bottom of the side walls. We therefore use 4<br />

inches of pure <strong>cork</strong>board in the sides and ends all of the way up to the<br />

top of the cabinet.<br />

Hermetically Sealed.—Besides the precauti<strong>on</strong> taken to have all joints<br />

lapped, or perfectly butted, the entire <strong>cork</strong>board <str<strong>on</strong>g>insulati<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> is sealed by<br />

flowing <strong>on</strong> a thick layer of hot asphaltum. This assures the filling and<br />

closing up of all pores, joints and cracks, which prevents the leakage of<br />

refrigerati<strong>on</strong> or the penetrati<strong>on</strong> of heat.<br />

•Descripti<strong>on</strong>s are those of the manufacturer, and are to be accepted <strong>on</strong>ly for what<br />

they may prove to be worth.<br />
