He said many were called dog wagons because they served only hot dogs. These wagons were soon replaced by freight cars, which were often unattractive and uninviting and catered to the disreputable and underworld, he said.
One of the foremost authorities on the American diner, Gutman has traveled the world, documenting years documenting diners for posterity, he said. His presentation covered the history of the diner from the original "dog wagon" of the early colossal, superstructured diners of the 1960s.
Gutman, speaker for the School of Architecture and Urban Design visiting lecture series, presented a triple screen slide program, 'Grab It and Growl; The Architecture of Fast Food,' last night in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
Diners started out as horse-drawn wagons in the 1860's and specialized in one or two crewmen.
The diner industry reached its peak in the 1930s when railroads were a national image. Gutman said. In this "golden age of the dinner," Gutman said the railroad dining car became a "meal on wheels with a big helping of scenery on the side."
As business grew the diner needed to expand, Gutman said, and it was no longer possible to cater only to the working class. But he planned places for teenagers, clubs and businesses.
Sideadis lines of streamlined stainless steel also reflected a successfull piece of architecture.
Gutman said that the design of diners soon offered more appeal to families and businesses in future windows, telephones and cleaner furnishings, create a more inviting atmosphere. Booth service was installed to accommodate customers sitting on stools at the counter, he said.
Soon diners were being mass produced and distributed throughout the country, he said. Gutman said the diner was an example of great efficiency with minimum overhead where the worker could get a wholesome meal for only 10 cents.
Recruits sought to tutor students
Some businesses became so prosperous that owners added new sections, he said. The dinner in Philadelphia, he said, had as much in two sections and cost $3,000 to construct.

With more and more customers to cater to, owners employed diverse architectural designs to attract customers, he said. Gutenberg show revealed the extremes of catwalk design, were diner in the shape of hot dogs, oranges, derbies, elephants and donuts.
The 1960s saw the decline of the roadside diner's railroad image, and the diners had to compete with Howard Johnson's and McDonald's, he said. Gutman said that the main restaurant and the vast American highway system brought the diner to an end.
