Storage Commercial applications
 * initial review
 * "Science of. Need to avoid water collecting, as water melted ice faster than warm air." - typo or something?
 * "By 1840s, warehouses by the Pond up to 36,000 square feet", don't know what this means
 * "Ice houses called depots were also built in the major ice consuming cities " - does this mean that they were only called depots in cities?
 * "Household refrigerators being manufactured in the 1840s on the east coast, most notably by Darius Eddy of Massachusetts and Winship of Boston; " - not a complete sentence
 * "Differences in 19th century American and European attitudes to adding ice directly to drinks;" - not a complete sentence
 * "It was quickly found that placing meat directly on top of blocks of ice in cars caused it to go off;" - go bad? fall off?
 * Should you credit the illustration to Harper's Weekly, 30 August 1884; Author 	F. Ray? I know you don't have to but it might be a nice touch.


 * All in all, I think this is a wonderful article. Very well written. MathewTownsend (talk) 22:12, 14 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Should be all fixed now - verbs are in short supply in the UK at the moment, due to the recession, so they had to be used sparingly in the later parts of the article! :)
 * Many indeed thanks for the review, it was much appreciated. Hchc2009 (talk) 07:12, 15 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Should I send you some verbs by internet express? Don't want you to suffer! MathewTownsend (talk) 18:19, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
