Window air cooler

I have a bullet shaped window air cooler and no info. Does anyone remember them? It has a water tank on the back and a red **** I believe is the hand pump. It is a General Airconditioning unit. What years and how does it work?

I believe it is an "evaporative cooler" also called a "swamp cooler" Works by blowing air (by driving) through a pad of wood fiber or synthetic that is soaked with water with a pump. I know of these, there might be others that are different.
