PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION
In developing this work on "Household Refrigeration,"
the first of the kind published, the author has endeavored to
present a subject in its broadest sense.
Attention has been given to the production of refrigera-
tion for any household or domestic purpose by both ice and
mechanically cooled refrigerators. The work consists of a
treatise on the principles, types, construction and operation
of both ice and mechanically cooled refrigerators, including
therein certain considerations on the use of ice and refrigera-
tion in the home.
It is believed that this work will not only be found to be
interesting and instructive to designers, manufacturers, deal-
ers, and distributors, of both ice and mechanically cooled
refrigerators, but also will be of interest to the householder,
Ijll who employs refrigeration in either of the aforementioned
systems.
The author has drawn extensively on his experience as
a refrigeration engineer for material for this work. However,
in the many instances, he has made use of the work of others,
for which proper credit has been given. The author desires
to gratefully acknowledge the assistance which has been ex-
tended to him by various associations, publishers, manufac-
,turers, and others, during the preparation of the subject matter
of this book.
