Its principle is that of surface cooling...These refrigerators have been adopted by the Orient Line steamers, the New Zealand Shipping Company, and the Cunard Company...The Catania...had been seventy-eight days at sea. She conveyed 1035 quarters of Australian beef and 1469 whole carcases of mutton, or nearly 120 tons of meat in all, which she brought in perfect condition to London.
