I don't see an elevated platform in the photo and nobody has mentioned any on the NG. How was the ice was brought up to the car roof top for loading into the bunkers? Were the ice blocks hand carried up, one at a time, or was a ramp laid against the side of the car and the blocks pulled up or pushed up?

Ammonia was also a common refrigerant in commercial operations (shades of the International Space Station).
