Excerpt from Heavy Loading and the Use of Excelsior Pads in the Shipment of Bermuda Onions
The plan of the experiment was to obtain two cars for each shipping test. These two cars were to be similarly loaded and routed, the only difference being that in one car the onions would be protected by pads on the floor rack and between one or more layers of onions, and the other car Would have no pads. By means of recording thermometers placed in bags in certain positions in each car the effect of pads on ventilation would be ascertained, and'by the' examination of several bags of onions from pre-arranged positions in each car the effect of the heavy load, and of_the pads, on pressure bruising and.abre sicn or friction injury-could be determined.
This plan was modified later, however, to the use of pads in certain' stacks in each car with other stacks unprotected for comparison The relue tance of shippers to load a whole car without pads forced this modification.
