THE problems of keeping the engine 

 of an automobile warm during 

 freezing weather so as to prevent 

 cylinders from cracking, to make starting 

 easy and to heat the body interior for 

 comfort are solved by the combination 

 engine and body heater shown in the 

 accompanying illustrations. 



The apparatus works on an entirely 

 new principle and consists of a coil-heater 

 fired by a gasoline- 

 burner. The coldest 

 water is taken from 

 the bottom of the 

 radiator, heated, and 

 injected into the top 

 of the cylinder water- 

 jacket or circulated 

 through a small radia- 

 tor in the car body. 

 The hot water can be 

 used for both purposes 

 at the same time if 

 desired by manipulat- 

 ing a small by-pass 

 valve. In any event, 

 the water finds its way 

 back to the bottom of 

 the radiator, thus com- 

 pleting the cycle of 

 operation.

that the amount of fuel required to run 

 the heater is negligible and that its use in 

 reality saves considerable fuel because it is 

 unnecessary to flood the carburetor when 

 starting the engine. By keeping the en- 

 gine warm, the fuel vaporizes more com- 

 pletely so that its full power is immedi- 

 ately utilized and not wasted in passing 

 out through the muffler. The heater can 

 be applied to any make of automobile, 

 motor truck or ambulance. It can keep 

 the temperature inside of any of 

 these vehicles at from seventy to 

 eighty degrees Fahrenheit. 

 The apparatus is not very 

 difficult to install, for 

 it is compact and self- 

 contained. When a 

 suitable location un- 

 der the hood has been 

 found for the bracket 

 it is bolted on en masse 

 and the proper connec- 

 tions run to the vari- 

 ous necessary points.

 dent of the engine.

 gasoline-burner at the bottom. The fuel 

 is carried in a tank on the running-board 

 and is fed under pressure through a 

 special re-

 to the burner

 heater may be 

 in operation
