“We Freeze to Please” attempts to accomplish this cooling objective by using an experimental coil with streamlined tubes.7 Carrier recalls a luncheon meeting in Washington, DC, with Drs. Vannevar Bush, Jerome Hunsaker (chairman of the NACA), and George Lewis. At the time, NACA engi- neers were testing the streamlined coils at Langley. Lewis asked Carrier if the experimental coils had any value. Carrier’s reply was blunt. “I told Dr. Lewis,” he remem- bered, “that the boys conducting the tests did not know what it was all about, and that too much money and, of more importance, too much time had been wasted already.” It was Carrier’s outburst, together with disappointing results from early tests with the streamlined coils, that likely led to a meeting with Carrier, representatives of his com- pany, and high officials from Langley on 6 November 1941. At the beginning of the meeting, Carrier announced that his company had decided not to bid on the contract for the refrigeration plant at Cleveland. As an executive of the Carrier Corporation, L. L. Lewis later explained, the company was “loaded with work in familiar fields,” whereas the NACA project would involve “great risk and great effort.” It was suspected that Willis Carrier, having been ignored by the NACA at the outset of the project, now wanted to be courted.8 Russell G. Robinson, a senior NACA official, was prepared to be the suitor. “I explained the urgency of the project in the interests of national defense,” Robinson said, “and pointed out that the highest priorities could be obtained wherever advantageous.” The end of the day’s discussion had persuaded Carrier. His company would bid on the project. Robinson was pleased. “I was impressed,” he wrote, “by the confidence with which Carrier [Corporation] approached this problem; they seem entirely capable of carrying out a project such as ours.”9 After its bid was approved in March 1942, the Carrier Corporation created a spe- cial department, headed by Maurice J. Wilson, to undertake the challenging task. There were several major problems to be overcome to create the cooling system for Cleveland. “Calculations indicated,” Willis Carrier pointed out, “that we would need a direct expansion coil with a face area of approximately 8,000 square feet.” But the wind tunnel, 51 feet in diameter, had only 2,000 square feet of cross-sectional area. Carrier solved this problem by folding the coils “like a collapsed accordion until they fitted into the tunnel.”10 7 Margaret Ingels, Willis Haviland Carrier: Father of Air Conditioning (Country Life Press, 1952), pp. 96–101. 8 Ibid. 9 Russell G.
