[CBQ] Gas Electric Motors

["jferri01" <fhs1955@gmail.com>]

On many of the Q's gas electric motors (E.g. #9838, page 118 in Corbin's 
Burlington in Transition or #9849, page 53 in Spoor's CB&Q in Color - Vol 3) 
there are a series of curved pipes running crosswise across the roof near the 
front of the car.  There is also a screened area behind those pipes as seen on 
the folio drawings for Nos. 9838, 9839 & 9840. Are those associated with the 
cooling system for the air compressor?  Since there is a radiator and fan 
behind the louvers on the front of the car, I would guess that they are not for 
engine cooling.
