Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

NOW winter is drawing near, many ,users will be thinking of buying engine-heaters to protect their vehicles, while standing overnight in the garage, from the ill-effects of ,frost. Naturally, economy will play a large part in guiding the average user towards his choice of heater for this purpose—always provided, of course, that economy is associated with efficiency—so the new lamp, for which Messrs. Woodcock and .Covington, P, Upper John Street, London, W.1, are the London agents, should find its place in the equipment of many operators. The manufacturer of this neat appliance,. -which sells at the attractive price of 8s., is Barratt Wakefield, Ltd., Lovells Road, Birmingham.

The comparatively fine thread which is used on some types of heating lamp to screw the funnel to the base is

eliminated on the model in question, a hinge and spring clip being used in its

place. The fehture of this, of course, is that it makes for rapid and easy manipulation. To ensure an oil-tight joint between the funnel and base a heavy fibre wisher is used, whilst a double-domed roof is fitted to the funnel to assist the radiation of the heat generated.

A strong burner is need, with a large and easily adjusted wick, the lamp being designed to consume oil and to throw off a considerable heat over quite a wide area fog this class of appliance. The funnel is perforated with holes of fin, diameter and, to comply with the requirements of insurance companies, its interior is fitted with a double layer of gauze. A sturdy hook is provided at the top of the lamp. Strongly constructed and with a neat copperoxidized finish, the appliance should show itself to be well worth the price asked for it.
