This citation summarizes a one-page announcement of technology available for utilization. Ventilation and temperature control in livestock hauling rigs is improved by a proposed design that incorporates aerodynamic concepts. The aerodynamic refinements would also improve fuel efficiency. In the new design, the front of the cab is rounded, and a fairing covers the space between the cab and trailer. The combination establishes an airstream that is aerodynamically attached to the exterior of the rig. ...FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Contact: Technology Transfer Division, P.O. Box 8757, BWI Airport, MD. 21240; (301) 621-0100 Ext. 241. Inquiries concerning rights for the commercial use of this invention should be addressed to Darrell G. Brekke, Hugh L. Dryden Flight Research Center, Mail Code: 201-11A, Moffett Field, CA 94035; (415) 965-5104. In either case refer to FRC-11058/TN.
