To find out how the first ammonia cooling went, Google Icey Ball and it will not only show you one but tell you how it works. I have one in my shed my father's family used way back when, but the 'cage' part is missing. It was in very bad shape when I went there about 30 years ago and found it lying in the front yard, so brought it home, made a new wooden handle, put some of it back together with Bondo, cleaned the rust off and painted it. So it does resemble one somewhat, and is an interesting conversation piece! Ammonia had to be heated to make it cold!! I understand old man Kelsey still uses one!!
