From Wikipedia: #---------------------------------------------------------------------- Development of the first refrigerators Many countries can claim to be the home of the inventor of the refrigerator, as the technology was developed over a period of time all over the world, using different types of technology and for different purposes. Claimants to the name of inventor include Oliver Evans (USA), Jacob Perkins (USA and England), John Gorrie (USA), Alexander Catlin Twining (USA), James Harrison (Australia) and Carl von Linde (Germany). One of the first uses of "home" refrigeration was at Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, USA, installed around 1895 [1] (http://www.biltmore.com), while in commercial refrigeration the Vestey Brothers opened one of the first refrigerated cold stores in London the same year. The gas absorption refrigerator, which cools by the use of a source of heat, was invented in Sweden by Baltzar von Platen in 1922. [2] (http://otal.umd.edu/~vg/amst205.F97/vj09/project5.html) It was later manufactured by Electrolux and Servel. Today it is used in homes that are not connected to the electrical grid, and in recreational vehicles. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refridgeration> #---------------------------------------------------------------------- OA: -=[ latkes and apple sauce ]=- 12/97 .-'''''-. |'-----'| /`-.....-`\ | <_} | | .-\-. | _,._ | /# ` \ | __.-` `"""-. | \ / | ..--' `"-. `)_,._ \ '-'-' / (` )--.-"``` `"-.`'-----'` '-----------' ( ) jgs `-------------` -- Mark Hill
