Judy and I were talking

 

…about air conditioning.  And swamp coolers.  And cars.  And cars before air conditioning.

 

And I suddenly remembered 1950s air conditioning for the car on desert trips.  That canvas bag hung off the front bumper; I think that was for radiator water.

 

But there is more.  That silver jet engine looking thing feeding air into the car window; that was air conditioning in the desert.

 

An evaporative cooler, swamp cooler, for a car.  No electrical hookup, powered by the air blown through it at speed!
