Description
As locomotive designs improved and railroads expanded, the traveling public also expected better accommodations. Henry Paine attempted to solve one of the major problems of the steam locomotive, the exhaust from the smoke stack, and how it negatively impacted the passenger. Paine developed improved ventilation hardware designed to help pull smoke and stale air out of the interior of passenger cars and bring fresh, hopefully smoke-free and cinder-free air, in.
