black history moment FREDERICK MCKINLEY JONES
Frederick McKinley Jones (May 17, 1893 – February 21, 1961) was an American inventor, entrepreneur, engineer, winner of the National Medal of Technology, and an inductee of the National Inventors Hall of Fame.[1] He innovated mobile refrigeration technology. Jones received 61 patents, including 40 for refrigeration technology,[2] and also revolutionized the cinema industry by creating a superior sound system for projectors at the time.[3] Jones co-founded Thermo King and also served as a sergeant in World War I.[1][4] Due to his contributions to refrigeration technology, Jones is called the "Father of Refrigerated Transportation", and the "King of Cool."
Jones also developed a portable x-ray machine.[7][14][18] He also developed an early prototype of a snowmobile. It was called a "snow machine" that attached skis to the undercarriage of an airplane fuselage and attached a propeller, and a sound track synchroniser (later selling the patent to RCA). An early radio service for local doctors were also counted among his inventions.
