      abstract = {Excerpts from the report:  This study is part of a broad  program of research to improve the design and performance  of transportation equipment used in the movement of  agricultural products, as a means of improving and  expanding the marketing of farm products.  Little precise  information has been available heretofore regarding the  efficiency of refrigerated railroad cars in terms of their  heat transfer performance.  This study has produced  comparative information on certain types of cars and their  refrigerating units to assist in the improvement of design  and to reduce deterioration and spoilage of perishable  foods in transit to market.  This study indicates that an  industrywide standard method of rating refrigerator car  performance would provide better means for analyzing  experimental structural innovations and for exchange of  information within the industry.  This should lead to  better quality control in refrigerator car construction  and, in turn, to increased efficiency of operation and  better control in the protection of perishable foods during  movement to market.},
