Just curious

An actual design built ice cream machine? No. What the fleet boats did have was a dehumidifier to help with the high humidity of the Pacific environment. Bubbleheads are an enterprising group, and so with a little knowledge added a bonus feature to the dehumidifier. Complete with machine oil and the occasional metal shavings. Was it officially authorized? No. Was anybody going to stop us if they found out? Also no.
