Annie Turbo Malone And 9 Other Forgotten Names In Black History We’re Grateful For
Frederick McKinley Jones
Frederick McKinley Jones was a genius innovator. Creating over 60 inventions throughout his lifetime, roughly 40 of these were work in refrigeration. Ever wonder how those transmitting trucks do those long drives to supermarkets and department stores without destroying all the produce? Well, it’s because of him. Jones invented an automatic refrigeration system, which would keep food fresh during transportation. Not quite sure how we were transmitting perishable goods nationwide before it, but thanks to Jones we no longer need to find out. Apart from his historic refrigerated invention, Jones also created air conditioning units for military field hospitals, the self-starting gas engine and a number of devices for movie projectors changing the film industry as well.
