Hot Dog Vendor
Unveiled in N.Y.
NEW YORK~Electronic heating con-
tinues to make the news ,and the first
automatic vending machine using electronic
heat was recently put into operation here.
The machine, serving electronically
cooked hot dogs, was installed, as a test,
at the W. T. Grant store on East 14th
Street. Plans call for twenty additional
test installations in Chicago.
Hot dogs are wrapped and sealed in
sanitary cellophane bags before being
placed in the machine. Temperature in the
machine is kept below 45 degrees F. When
a coin is inserted, the sandwich is thor-
oughly cooked by means of an electronic
coil which raises the temperature so that,
at the time of delivery, a heat of between
170 and 180 degrees is obtained. The entire
operation is visible to the customer through
the front panel of the machine.
Coin slots of the machine receive either
two nickels or one dime. This allows for
a possible five-cent increase or: decrease in
price.
At present the machine holds about 180
frankfurters. Machines to be placed on
location are scheduled to have a capacity
of from 300 to 400.
