Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Food Journal, 1871, Vol. 1: A Review of Social and Sanitary Economy, and Monthly Record of Food and Public Health; Containing Numbers 1 to 12 The plan proposed by Mr. Postle, of Sydney, is to stop short of the freezing point, but to keep the air artificially cooled to within one or two degrees above it. This he attains by a very simple applica tion of the laws of heat, in which the air in expanding is made to compress fresh air, so that a large percentage of the power excited in compression, is regained by utilising its expansive force. In practice, Mr. Postle would fit up a ship, holding some thousand carcases, with iron bins, and distribute equally through them cold currents of air, which would return to the machine to be reduced again to the proper temperature.
