 Carrier also made back in the 60s-70s a 33,000 BTU Beast. I think those years they called them the "Weathermaker" Series.
My Dad had a Monster Console that had a Water Tower (Cooling Tower) on the roof. The unit was pretty much self contained. The console in the restaurant had the Compressor/and Blower Unit inside the cabinet. The Water Tower was the Heat Transfer Exchanger. Good God... Ice Ice Cold Air. | ||

 The first office I worked at in the freight sheds at the pier in Vancouver had two humongous Carrier window units in the data processing office which was perhaps 40 ft x 20. Overkill much. They were considerably bigger than that and fitted almost side by side iirc. I don't recollect them ever being turned on either.. it doesn't get all that hot and humid in Vancouver. | ||

That's the exact Unit my Dad had Hans. 7 feet or so tall and that Compressor !!!
But if I recall correctly, it was pretty quiet for it's size.
And Yes, they would make your teeth hurt. I remember my Dad's Bar Room Door had the decals "Air Conditioned, by Carrier" He even had a sign outside that said the same thing. It was a Big Deal back in the fifties to have A/C. | ||

If im not mistaken I was told it was installed in the store as a demonstrator,to show people how well it worked, I think it was 51 or 52, Shields also sold Kelvinator,Maytag and Bendix. | ||

I almost forgot They also sold and installed Armstrong oil furnaces and Kresky floor furnaces in addition to Carrier AC, Shields is still in business but they don't do heating and ac any more, just sell furniture and appliances, Maytag and Kelvinator. | ||
