The kit consisted of a bright emitter triode in an oscillating circuit. The heater supply was a 4 volt accumulator, and a dozen or so dry cells, with an earphone in series, supplied the anode voltage.
The reflector and conical heater are sustained by a flat hub and eight radial spokes bent upward toward the ends at an angle of 45°. The hub and spokes are supported by a vertical pivot, by means of which the operator is enabled to follow the diurnal motion of the sun, while a horizontal axle, secured to the upper end of the pivot, and held by appropriate bearings under the hub, enables him to regulate the inclination to correspond with the altitude of the luminary.

Even Maggie the Washerwoman is better than an old car heater." Mrs. Bagley chuckled throatily. "How is Maggie?" "She's fine." "I mean as a date." "Better than the car heater." "Tim, you're a fool."
"Oh, you're one of the plumber's men?" asked Bob, thinking perhaps his aunt might have asked to have some men sent out to work on the new cellar under the washroom where the hot-water heater was to go.
