It appears Dry Zero Corp were into the manufacture of ice cream trucks before WWII. So Harvey's bodies may have originally come from a better way to build insulated structures, before being applied to general body building |
I guess you're right as Harvey B Lyndsay writes in his patent application: "
The invention has application to a wide range of housing structures including refrigerator structures especially of the transport type, and passenger and freight car bodies." (my bold).
Lindsay's other patents are also related to refrigeration, or rather, insulation.
PS: it seems Google's algorithms aren't so smart as we all think, as they would show far fewer compound curved Lindsay bodies - that was the beauty of the Lindsay Structure body, subject of our discussion here
