GLORIA HEATER (Australia)

Very nice, @Marko57.

From a 1926+ Gloria Light Co. of Australasia Catalogue:



Yours is not the same. The illustrated one has a French Lilor tank. Also possibly different burner setup.


Cheers

Tony

 

A great find!

 

Thanks Marko.

Have you worked out what's the purpose of the two balls on the rim of the fount?

 

@ROBBO55

Hello Martin,

They are used to steady it when the tank is tilted back to push the heat up.

You could call this one a lean tree model as you need something under the front of the tank to do this.

I do have another one which has the same round ball at the front with a large adjusting screw to tilt it back.

Cheers Mark.

 

Interesting heater.

 

Thanks Mark, in my mind I thought of a couple of possibilities, but that wasn't one of them .
