Editing The Drawers (section)

==History==
The Drawers were experimental technology even before Snowpiercer departed. As there would be no use for this kind of technology on a Luxury Liner, they must have been added to the train when it underwent the refit to become the [[Snowpiercer|Great Ark]]. The lead scientist of the project was [[Henry Klimpt|Dr. Henry Klimpt]].

It is revealed by [[Melanie Cavill]] that The Drawers should serve as humanity's lifeboat, it's last hope for survival. Each Drawers Car is equipped with three rows of eleven Drawers, making it a total of thirty-three Drawers by car. The twelve Drawers Car have been designed to save 396 pre-selected persons based on their genetic profile or aptitudes. They would be put into suspended animation if resource crash or other issues became inevitable.<ref>S01E06 - ''[[Trouble Comes Sideways]]''</ref> Many individuals speculated about the purpose of The Drawers, ranging from extrajudicial imprisonment to medical experiments.
