Hints for you on compressor displacement

1. "Cooling System for Vehicles" patent 2180760 was issued to E.L. Mayo of The Bishop & Babcock Mfg Co. (Cleveland) on 11/21/1939. The document shows the compressor in Fig 1 and 3 but there is no mention of displacement.

2. Antique Automobile Club has a blog entitled "air conditioning" starting on 10/30/2002 with a lot of interesting anecdotal conversation about early vehicle air conditioning.

3. The Cleveland Public Library may or may not have something that will help you. I will post it in a reply. You can go check out what is on the microfilm or I can if you can wait for my travel ban to be lifted after recent knee surgery. I am in drydock until maybe Feb 1.
