CYPHERS HOVER BROODERS 91 
WORLD'S CHALLENGE ADAPTABLE HOVER AND 
BROODER HEATER 
FIRE-PROOFED, INSURABLE, SELF-REGULATING AND 
SELF-VENTILATING 
The Adaptable Hover that we employ in 
regulating the latest-pattern Standard Cyphers 
Incubators, and the fresh air, which is drawn 
automatically into the hover space for use of 
the chicks, is WARMED before it reaches them, 
and no draft from the source of heat can possibly 
get under the hover. It should be noted that 
the Cyphers Company’s Adaptable Hover is self- 
regulating and self-ventilating as a separate device 
irrespective of the brooder case or other enclosure 
in which it is used. It is the temperature under™ 
neath the hover that is regulated, and pure, 
warmed air is delivered to this point from the 
fresh-air chamber, regardless of other conditions: 
ADAPTABLE HOVER 
(Self-regulating and bears Insurance Label as 
separate device.) 
Shows side view of combined Fire-proof Heater 
and Standard Adaptable Hover, ready for use. 
Device can be mounted; that is, joined together, 
in less than thirty seconds’ time. When uncrated 
will be found to consist of five pieces (not including 
regulator arm, regulator disc and thermometer), as 
follows: Heater compartment, hover,. two sections 
of waste-heat pipe and T-fume vent and wind- 
break. 
FOR TWENTY YEARS manufacturers of 
incubators and brooders, not alone in the United 
States, but also in leading European countries, 
have been seeking to develop a practical type of 
self-regulating and self-ventilating brooders, 
Their wish has been to place these devices on a par 
with the best incubators in use. The Cyphers 
Company for years worked faithfully at this prob- 
lem, but did not meet with real success until it 
invented the Adaptable Hover. 
WE HAD LONG BELIEVED that brooders, 
to be entirely practical, should be automatic in 
regulation and _ self-ventilating, especially at 
night. As at present equipped with our Adaptable 
Hover, every lamp-heated brooder manufactured 
and sold by us is both self-regulating and self- 
ventilating. The same high-grade zinc and steel 
thermostat is used on self-regulating and self- 
ventilating. 
LAMP FLAME WILL NOT BLOW OUT 
AND DOES NOT SUCK OUT 
REMARKABLE AS IT MAY SEEM, this 
hover is so constructed that it could actually be 
used out of doors without the protection of a case 
or other enclosure and the lamp would not blow 
out. This favorable condition arises from the fact 
that there is no connection whatever in the form 
of an air passage between the lamp chamber and 
the space underneath the hover; therefore, fumes 
from the lamp cannot possibly reach the space 
where the chicks sleep, nor can the action of the 
air on the interior of a brooder case, colony coop, 
portable house or other enclosure affect the flame 
of the lamp in the slightest degree. It is on this 
account that the lamp chamber can be opened at 
any time, in any location, for filling the bowl, 
trimming the wick or adjusting the flame, and the 
blaze positively will not suck out, regardless of 
whether the doors, windows or chick exit to the 
brooder case, roosting, or poultry house are opened. 
PORTABLE HOVER 
Movable—can be changed to a new spot or 
location at any time by simply picking it up.
