Young Carrier was interested, began to experiment, found that warm wet air could be cooled and dried by passing it through an atomized spray. By 1915 he had recruited a partner and enough capital to start Carrier Engineering Corp. in Newark, N. J. In 1922 he invented a centrifugal refrigerating compressor which has been a potent factor in building Carrier prestige. He works hard, is absent-minded about meals and haircuts, likes to hunt and fish. In 1929 his companies did nearly...
