 ICELESS REFRIGERATOR NO. 2

Another type of iceless refrigerator which appears more crude can be made at a cost of $1.80. In this a cotton sack is used for the covering. This refrigerator has proved more satisfactory than one would suppose. The butter and milk from several cows has been kept in a model of this type at ten degrees cooler than the outside air. It might be well to use cotton flannel for the covering instead of ducking because when the cloth is wet evaporation takes place more rapidly.



24-1/2' yellow pine. 5-1/2 yds. canton flannel. 15 10-penny nails. 1 No. 2 galvanized tub.



Stem: 1 piece 2" thick × 4" wide × 5" long.

Shelves: 2 pieces 1" thick × 32" wide × 32" long.

1 piece 1" thick × 20" wide × 20" long.

Supports: 2 pieces 2" thick × 4" wide × 18" long to be used as braces for the foundation.

Cleats: 4 pieces 2" thick × 4" wide × 30" long to support shelves.
