Auto Air Conditioners
Here is something you car buffs probably didn't know. The three
Goldberg brothers - Norman, Hiram, and Maxwell invented and
developed the first automobile air-conditioner.
On July 17th, 1946, the temperature in Detroit was 97º. The
three brothers walked into old man Henry Ford's office and
sweet- talked his secretary into telling him that three
gentlemen were there with the most exciting innovation in the
auto industry since the electric starter.
Henry was curious and invited them into his office. They refused
and instead asked that he come out to the parking lot to their
car. They persuaded him to get into the car which was about 130º
they immediately turned on the air-conditioner and cooled the
car off immediately.
The old man got very excited and invited them back to the
office, where he offered them three million dollars for the
patent.
The brothers refused, saying they would settle for two million
but they wanted the recognition by having a label ''The Goldberg
Air- Conditioner'' on the dashboard of each car that it was
installed in.
Now old man Ford was more than just a little bit Anti-Semitic,
and there was no way he was
going to put the Goldbergs' name on two million Ford cars. They
haggled back and forth for about two hours and finally agreed on
four million dollars and that just their first names would be
shown.
And so, even today, all Ford air-conditioners show on the
controls, the names ''Norm, Hi, & Max''.
Now I'll bet you didn't know the origin.
