He soon made himself known with a variety of useful mechanical inventions〔() (1911) "(Jacob Perkins )", ''Encyclopaedia Britannica''〕 and eventually had twenty-one American and nineteen English patents. He is known as the father of the refrigerator. He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1813.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.amacad.org/publications/BookofMembers/ChapterP.pdf )〕 ==Early life== Jacob went to school in Newburyport till he was 12 and then was apprenticed to a goldsmith in Newburyport named Davis. Mr. Davis died three years later and Jacob (only fifteen) continued the business of making gold beads and added the manufacture of shoe buckles. When he was twenty-one he was employed by the master of the Massachusetts mint to make a die for striking copper coins, this was the cent bearing an eagle and an Indian.
