THE MODELS WERE FULL SIZE, WITH ACTUAL ANIMAL CAGES FOR RATS AND MICE. SWIRL AIR DIFFUSERS MOUNTED DIRECTLY IN THE SUPPLY AIR DUCT WERE USED FOR THE AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM. THE SUPPLY AIR DUCTS WERE POSITIONED BENEATH THE CEILING. THE EXHAUST AIR WAS EXTRACTED FROM NEAR THE FLOOR BY BRANCHES FROM THE MAIN EXTRACT DUCT.
