Roomette

For train travelers who dislike horizontal undressing in a berth but cannot afford a drawing room or compartment, Pullman Co. last week had an announcement. Now abuilding, in new equipment for the New York Central's 20th Century Limited, the Pennsylvania's Broadway Limited, the North Western, Union Pacific and Southern Pacific streamliners and the Santa Fe's Chief, is a new Pullman creation--the "roomette." Occupying a little over the space of one section (upper & lower berths), it is a miniature compartment with a sliding metal door, a real bed which folds into the wall giving ample room for vertical dressing. The bed is 6 ft., 5 in. long, four inches more than the present standard berth. The roomette also has built-in toilet and closet, individual heating and ventilation. During the day the folded bed makes a sofa.
