Today during our tribute to Black History Month , we will discuss the man who is responsible for inventing the first automatic refrigeration system for trucks. his man name is Frederick McKinley Jones. Fredrick was born on May 17, 1893 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Jones lost his mother at an early age and was raised by a priest in Covington, Kentucky until he was sixteen. During his teen years he returned back to Cincinnati and would become a mechanics helper. At this stage he had observed the way the mechanics worked on the cars. After watching and perfecting the mechanical skills he was promoted to Foreman. He would soon go on to create many other viable inventions such as a portable x-ray. However,due to his lack of knowledge of patents; Jones would watch other men walk away with the rewards of a similar product creation such as his.
Jones would later meet another creator Joseph Numero who was the head of the Ultra phone Sound Systems. Numero hired Hones as an electrical engineer. Jones and Numero would form a partnership called the U.S. Thermo Control Company. During this time he constructed the automated movie ticket dispenser. Jones left this world on February 21, 1961 with more than sixty patents and the first black inventor to receive the National Medal of Technology.
