George’s Installs
Two Cooling Units
Air conditioning equipment has
just been installed in George's Con
fectionary by Barron Britton, Inc.
of Bryan at a cost of more than
$1,000.
This equipment works on the
evaporation principle and is expect
ed to keep the temperature between
70 and 80 degrees, or approximate
ly 15 degrees cooler inside than
outside.
The system is composed of two
units, each pulled by a one horse
power motor and forcing in 9,500
cubic feet of air per minute. Then
there is a 42-inch suction fan over
the kitchen that pulls the cool air
on through the building and takes
out all kitchen odors.
Due to the construction of the
building and the lack of insulation,
installation of regular refrigera
tion type of air conditioning equip
ment was considered impractical.
