initial review

Storage

  • "Science of. Need to avoid water collecting, as water melted ice faster than warm air." - typo or something?
  • "By 1840s, warehouses by the Pond up to 36,000 square feet" , don't know what this means
  • "Ice houses called depots were also built in the major ice consuming cities " - does this mean that they were only called depots in cities?
  • "Household refrigerators being manufactured in the 1840s on the east coast, most notably by Darius Eddy of Massachusetts and Winship of Boston; " - not a complete sentence
  • "Differences in 19th century American and European attitudes to adding ice directly to drinks;" - not a complete sentence

Commercial applications

  • "It was quickly found that placing meat directly on top of blocks of ice in cars caused it to go off;" - go bad? fall off?
  • Should you credit the illustration to Harper's Weekly, 30 August 1884; Author F. Ray? I know you don't have to but it might be a nice touch.
  • Should be all fixed now - verbs are in short supply in the UK at the moment, due to the recession, so they had to be used sparingly in the later parts of the article! :)
  • Many indeed thanks for the review, it was much appreciated. Hchc2009 (talk) 07:12, 15 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
