HEAT WAVE

WILLIS CARRIER....INVENTOR OF THE AIR-CONDITIONER
kind of a cool phrase...heat wave.....what is it exactly a wave of heat ? ....never really stopped to think of it but i do know every once in a while a phrase pops up and i analyze it (just look at the first part of analyze) and it strikes me funny....anyway it is brutal out and i hope all off you have a way to cope with it.......i never could figure out what people like daniel boone did without air conditioning i mean was the planet cooler then or are we just a bunch of babies...got to give the guy credit who invented air conditioning..love to shake his hand (if it's not to cold) because i assume he's dead by now....i wonder if there is air conditioning wherever he ended up ....oh well here's to WILLIS CARRIER the inventor of the air coditioner here's the skinny on that......The 'Apparatus for Treating Air' (U.S. Pat# 808897) granted in 1906, was the first of several patents awarded to Willis Haviland Carrier. The recognized 'father of air conditioning' is Carrier, but the term 'air conditioning' actually originated with textile engineer, Stuart H. Cramer. Cramer used the phrase 'air conditioning' in a 1906 patent claim filed for a device that added water vapor to the air in textile plants - to condition the yarn.
