Today in 1936, US Patent 2043856 A was issued, an invention of Ray Knapp, for his “Apparatus For Dispensing Beer.” There’s no Abstract, although in the description it states that the “invention relates to a method and apparatus for dispensing beer, and has for its principal object to afford a structure that employs a cooling chamber made of glass or glass lined material, the beer being retained in the glass cooling chamber and conducted therefrom directly to the dispensing faucet.”
