Artificial Ice Company Generator Repaired, May 1948
Year:
1948
Published In:
Ann Arbor News, May 28, 1948
Caption:
GENERATOR RESPONDS TO TREATMENT: This 4,600-volt generator, owned by the Artificial Ice Co., 416 W. Huron St., has been on the sick-list since April 27 when it lost a duel with a lightning-bolt that invaded the plant during a storm on that date. Here, a technician called in from Detroit makes repairs on the complicated wiring of the big machine's armature. Only damage done by the lightning stroke was to the generator itself, although firemen were called and stood by until the machine could be disconnected from the plant circuit.

Artificial Ice Company - Freezing Floor, April 1954
Year:
1954
Published In:
Ann Arbor News, April 17, 1954
Caption:
IT'S UNDER THE BOARDS: This freezing floor at the Artificial Ice Co. has 100 openings in which the water is frozen in individual units of 330 pounds. Some of the openings are seen in the right foreground. Oren Daugherty is at the control of a crane which is lifting a housing of eight units already frozen. From here, they go to a warm water bath which loosens the ice from the containers. They then go to the cutting and storage room. Ammonia freezing coils extend through the floor. Also there are coils for air pressure, which imparts a clearness to the ice. Brine is under the containers. It takes 24 hours to freeze each unit.

Workers At Artificial Ice Company, August 1959 Photographer: Duane Scheel
Year:
1959
Published In:
Ann Arbor News, August 26, 1959
Caption:
ICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT: Probably among the happiest workers in Ann Arbor these sweltering days are (left to right) Hans Maier, Bob Loukotka and Fred Colvin. They're lugging 300-pound cakes of ice around inside the Artificial Ice Co., 416 W. Huron St. The picture was easy to take; the hard thing was getting The Ann Arbor News photographer to leave the 29-degree temperature and return to the office.
