Back to the Future
In the August 18, 1952 News, there was a story on Time magazine’s August 11 article celebrating air conditioning’s 50th anniversary. As part of the article, Cloud Wampler, then president of Carrier Corp., made some predictions about air conditioning.
Wampler thought that air conditioning sales would more than double between 1952 and 1962, and that during that time frame, there would be 5 million houses with single-room coolers.
