I'm inspecting my way through some apartments built in the 1970's, and the furnaces are all Westinghouse. Serial numbers are all in this series: Q2729.

Pre-war cooler lids are also missing occasionally. So,here are the lid sizes used. There are only 2 for this group; one is the Junior sizeand the other is the half Master size.
I had a mental block that I had to reason my way through.It concerned the Junior Cooler. All the pictures or illustrations that you seeof the Junior show it positioned with the cap puller and catcher mounted on theright, open end, of the cooler. This is the real world, or so I thought. Per the published dimensions the actual ‘front’of a Junior is the open-ended cap catcher side. What I had thought of as thefront is actually an end.
The same end plates are used on all of these coolers and the hinge line isperpendicular to the front.
If you weren’t confused before, you may be now.
On Page 03 – Identifying Coolers, I’m sticking withthe real-world view for the Junior width dimension of 25 ¼” (instead of 17 ¾”).
A Junior lid size = 21 ¾” along the hinge line x 13 ¾”perpendicular to the hinge line. One lid is used on the Junior. Two of theselids, hinged back-to-back, are used on the Standard. Two Standard assemblies (4Juniors) are used on the Giant.
A half Master lid size = 21 ¾” along the hinge line x 19”perpendicular to the hinge line. Two of these, hinged back-to-back, are used onthe Master.
(Dimensions are approximate and may vary +/- ½”.)
Lids were not embossed with the under-side Coca-Cola logobefore 1940.
