Abstract: A locomotive is provided with an enlarged cab having "split level" sections for accommodating the engineer and other members of the train crew. A first upper section includes seating space for the engineer adjacent to the console with good visibility to the front and back, the engineer's line of sight being above the crew members in a lower section of the cab, and on the opposite side of the cab there is an additional upper section that provides an operating station for the engineer's assistant. In the lower section of the cab seating space is provided for at least one crew member. A writing surface (for performing clerical work) adjacent to seating space for the train conductor, with external visibility along a line of sight parallel to the sides of the railroad cars being propelled by the locomotive, is provided either in the lower section or in the additional upper section of the cab.
Abstract: A galley for storing and preparing food for on-board service in a passenger aircraft has its main floor located in the aft portion of the fuselage and raised above the main passenger deck. The distance between the ceiling of the main passenger deck and the floor is sufficient to provide head room for personnel using the galley. The airplane has a rearwardly concave, spherically-shaped pressure bulkhead positioned in the aft of the fuselage. The floor of the galley abuts the spherical bulkhead to take advantage of the increased floor space provided by the concave portion of the bulkhead. The galley includes facilities for preparing food stored in modular, portable containers and mobile service carts. The service carts are normally stored in recesses provided below countertop level in the galley when not in use. The modular containers and service carts are lifted between the galley floor and the main passenger deck by a lift proportioned to accommodate a mobile service cart or single modular unit.
