TEDD LiGGETT’s phOTOGRAPH_oF_tHE_dAY #1245 \ rEEFER

tL's phOTOGRAPH_oF_tHE_dAY #1245 - from the “Extended Use” Series ... here is one of the first Reefers, a Refrigerated Railroad Car, developed to carry food & dairy products long distances. This example from 1911 was part of an order of 1000 cars for the Santa Fe Refrigerator Dispatch. Two ice bunkers inside the car held 3 tons of ice, which was replenished every 200 to 400 miles. As a result of this paradigm, California agriculture boomed. These reefers were designed with collapsible ice bunkers that were folded out of the way, allowing the car to carry more cargo when refrigeration was not needed. Also packed with heavy insulation, this particular reefer had special ‘plug’ doors which kept a tight seal when closed. Now housed on Hwy 99, in south central Kansas, north of Olpe, this reefer is now used as a hay barn.

TEDD LiGGETT’s phOTOGRAPH_oF_tHE_dAY #1224 \ gEN gEO pATTON

tL's phOTOGRAPH_oF_tHE_dAY #1224 - George Patton, the distinguished though controversial General of the United States Army (1885-1945) In 1916 he participated in the unsuccessful attempt to capture Pancho Villa and in a few years became the first officer assigned to the new United States Tank Corp.

Patton often got into trouble with his outspokenness and strong opinions; including the famous “slapping incident” where he struck a coward soldier. He was criticized for sending an ill-fated rescue mission for his son-in-law, held in a prison camp deep behind enemy lines.

George deliberately cultivated a flashy, distinctive image in the belief that this would motivate his troops. He was usually seen wearing a highly polished helmet, riding pants, and high cavalry boots. He carried flashy ivory-handled, nickel-plated .45 calibre revolvers. His vehicles carried oversized rank insignias and loud sirens. His speeches were riddled with profanities. The toughness of his image and character appeared well-suited to the conditions of battle and later depicted in the 1970 Academy Award winning film ‘Patton’.
