You mean those cylinders that you hung on the window? Hell that was some "new" technology when I was a youngster! Did they work? As I remember, if you happened to be the person sitting next to the window it was on, usually the passenger door, yes. Depending on the temp and humidity, the rest of the car was either not as hot as outside, or just about as hot as outside! Oh, and you'd better be doing about 40 mph to get the air to circulate through there properly to the rest of the interior. t> t> <snowblowme@webtv.net> wrote in message t> news:3247-424062D1-665@storefull-3214.bay.webtv.net... >> Anyone ever put one of those in their vintage car? they work with ice or >> something.

Affectionately called the "Swamp Cooler"... worked pretty well in hot, DRY climates, like in the U.S. S.W.  SignatureI shook my family tree, and a bunch of NUTS fell out... |
