"G. E." Refrigerator
For many months, makers of electrical refrigerating equipments have been nervously awaiting an announcement by the giant and highly scientific General Electric Co. regarding the machine it has been perfecting.
Since Sept. 15, when the General Electric Co. announced details regarding its electric refrigerator, the public as well as technical experts have been subjecting them to careful analysis.
The leading advantages of "G.
E's" new device are that it is automatic, self-lubricating, and practically noiseless. It will be retailed at $550.
The refrigerating element in the G. E. machine is sulphur dioxide. The "out" to this material has always consisted of the fact that it quickly corrodes parts with which it comes into contact. Evidently the ingenious "G. E." engineers have overcome this, presumably by her metically sealing the equipment, including its motor, compressor and all other moving parts. Once or twice a month the machine will have to be shut down until the frost accumulated on its brine tank can melt.
Installation and servicing will consequently be accomplished at minimum costs. Complete thermostatic and electrical control is provided with the machine.
