The idea behind this noble experiment was to cut down on air pollution by burning railroad cars for metal salvage inside an experimental device in Chicago Wednesday. A railroad car was placed inside the building and set afire. The smoke was then drawn through a duct into the chimney (at left) that was supposed to extract most of the pollutants and release only white puffs. But it flunked the test. Not only did thick black clouds of smoke belch from the chimney, but the shed itself began to smoke, adding to the pollution.Photo measures 9.25 x 8inches. Photo is dated 06-25-1970.
