On December 3, 1911, Carrier presented what is perhaps the most significant document ever prepared on air conditioning –
''[[wikisource:Rational_Psychrometric_Formulae|Rational Psychrometric Formulae]]'' – at the annual meeting of the [[American Society of Mechanical Engineers]]. It became known as the "Magna Carta of [[Psychrometrics]]."<ref name=Mingus/><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://innowiki.org/air-conditioning/|title=Air Conditioning|last=Day|first=Ruby|date=July 1, 2019|website=Innowiki|language=en-US|access-date=July 1, 2019|archive-date=July 1, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190701145826/https://innowiki.org/air-conditioning/|url-status=dead}}</ref> This document tied together the concepts of [[relative humidity]], [[Humidity#Absolute humidity|absolute humidity]], and [[dew point|dew-point temperature]], thus making it possible to design air-conditioning systems to precisely fit the requirements at hand.
With the onset of [[World War I]] in late 1914, the Buffalo Forge Company, where Carrier had been employed for 12 years, decided to confine its activities entirely to manufacturing. The result was that seven young engineers pooled together their life savings of $32,600 to form the Carrier Engineering Corporation in New York on June 26, 1915. The seven were Carrier, J. Irvine Lyle, Edward T. Murphy, L. Logan Lewis, Ernest T. Lyle, Frank Sanna, Alfred E. Stacey Jr., and Edmund P. Heckel. The company eventually settled on Frelinghuysen Avenue in [[Newark, New Jersey]].
