THE Hauck kerosene asphalt surface -heater is a device by means of which the work of heating and repairing asphalt pavement can be done with speed and economy and without smoke or
aches. It is claimed that, with the aid of the heater, asphalt pavement can be repairedin less time and with less cost than by any other method. The heat amalgamates the old and new asphalt, and makes the whole a solid and homogeneous mass, perfectly level with the old surface. The heater is well balanced, and therefore is easily moved to where it is required. The burners operate with kerosene, coal-oil or petroleum, and are quite dependable. Each burner is controlled and operated separately, and is provided with a valve, and can be removed for cleaning. The flame enters the hood fully developed, and so produces a uniform heat. It does not strike the asphalt directly, so that any burning of the asphalt is avoided, Over_ 1,000 sq. ft. can be heated in one day with this device, and by its aid pot-holes and grooves can be filled in and ridges can be removed from road surfaces. This heater is marketed in this country by Millar's Timber and Trading Co., Ltd.
