' , A specially-fitted coach for public experiment has been put on the New York-Philadelphia express. Five seats were removed from the coach to make room for the food dispensers. A big sign saying. "automatic buffet" is above the machines, which disgorge, in exchange for the correct number Of , coins, milk, coffee, sandwiches, pie, ice cream, cake, and candy. For ten cents, you can draw from the coffee machine, black coffee without sugar, with sugar; cream and' coffee with sugar, without sugar. The sandwiches cost anywhere from 25 to 50 cents. Original Purpose A chan - ge-making ma chin e, which will supply dim e's and nickles in exchange. for quarters, is attached to* . :the coffee-vendor. An unsolved problem is a method for changing dollar bills, The automatic buffet machines, which are now being tested for public, acceptance, were originally designed for factories and office buildings. Mechanics had a hard time adapting the machine for train use, for, the jiggling of the cars released free merchandise from the machines. They finally licked the probl4m, though, and now the food won't be dispensed unless', coins are inserted into the ma chine. Similar Taste The Pennsy dining car service is great for innovations. In 1938 it innovated the ,twin-unit dining car; in 1950 it established the single entree dining 'car meal; and this year it is serving free pretzels from 2 to 5 p.m. in dining cars on certain trains. . By the way, the merchandise from the food machines is said to , taste just like the, food pur chakd from the walking vendors, who jog through the coaches with their baskets of, sandWiches and candy and pots of cool, creamed and sugared coffee.
