When the ice deliveryman arrives at the Quik - E – Mart with his cargo, he says to Apu, “you’ve got to start charging more than a dollar a bag. We lost four more men on this expedition!” to which Apu replies, “If you can think of a better way to get ice I’d like to hear it.”“If the ice crop was poor, the price rose to the exorbitant rate of $1.25 a pound.” In today’s dollar this price corresponds to over $150 for a typical 3lb bag of ice (3).Cold BeerDaniel M.

Collins - 1947Gas Flow Cryostat cross-section Heat exchangerBlood Storage and HandlingIn 1915, Dr. Richard Weil discovered that refrigeration in conjunction with citration (to prevent blood clotting) allowed for the storage of blood for several days. Until then, blood transfusions needed to be made directly from donor to recipient. Refrigerated “Percipitation” of blood also developed.Evan KimCryogenics and RocketryBrook BakerElla Kinberg Nika MertaRenji ThomasRobert H.
