Thank you, Jake.  You seem to be a walking K Library.  (I sent you an email)

One thing that's important to understand is that "Air Conditioner" did not mean the same thing in 1947 as it does today or even as it did in 1957. The "Air Conditioner" that was featured in 1947/48 Kaiser and Frazer cars (and in the literature posted above) was a heater and ventilator, not an air conditioner as we know them today.

Thanks.  I've read that.  I guess a compressor would drag the motor down too much.  And then, where would it be attached?
