   Why are you stating this irrelevant obvious triviality?

   The simple fact that the Electrolux fridge my parents and a lot of   
   other people bought in 1953 was an absorption refrigerator with   
   no moving parts which had the same machinery as described here:

   fab8/US1781541.pdf   
      
   The refigerator is described in detail.   
      
   Why don't you read it and see for yourself? Can't you read?   
      
   No sane person can read a detailed descripion of a refrigerator   
   and believe that it is anything but a refrigerator.

   So why do you think that Electrolux gave Einstein money?
