There’s consideration too of the fuel for a Tito Landi, both variations of gasoline or alcohol (determined by jet size) being volatile fuels I...
The Reference Library here is for subscribers to the site only, but since the BAT catalogue (1938 date) entry with relevant details in is from my...
Not welded or threaded onto the base, but a section cut out of the length and the two remaining lengths silbrazed (silver soldered) together....
@Thomas1 I don’t believe they require pressurising any more than blowlamps or stoves do. Take for instance an Optimus 155 paraffin stove and its...
@Henry Plews I’m grateful for the update Henry. Regards, John
[my bold/italics/underlined] On the outside, looked ok. Inside, coked up or otherwise under-performing probably. John

@David Shouksmith I bought one of yours at Newark last year so that doesn’t count. THIS Bottogas is probably as rare. With yours, David, that’s...
The pump tube unscrews (hexagon flats) and the NRV is external to that. A jointed nipple key isn’t necessary, the flame tube of the blowlamp is...
Appropriate for an Open Forum topic, certainly. There’s plenty of interest in blowlamps (blowtorches USA) among members. ‘Plumber’s furnaces’ (a...
@Tony Press That’s really effective Tony and a good memento from Kerry’s stash. RIP Kerry. John
