[Public-List] Public-List Digest, Vol 1742, Issue 1

John is correct - 

I think the idea with the cockpit access to the box was to make it easier to
load ice in, although people used it for direct access to 'refreshments'.
The hatch in the cockpit dramatically cut the ability to ice box to retain
ice.  The other problem with the old style boxes was the front opening
door... Every time it is opened the cold air inside flowed out, filling the
box with warm air.  This can't happen with the later top accessing ice
boxes.
