Burner Using Any Fuel Oil Perfected by Blind Inventor (Jul, 1934)
Burner Using Any Fuel Oil Perfected by Blind Inventor
DESPITE the fact that he has been blind for sixteen years, a persevering inventor has recently completed a successful oil burner which uses all types of fuel oil.
The burner is a vertical type with an air blade for every oil outlet. The device is controlled by a thermostat but has an idling spray which goes into operation when the set temperature has been reached.
The invention is the result of two years of work and experimentation.

Of course, the obvious question is: how did he go blind?

Aren’t there Coleman-type stoves that will burn any fuel? Do we have this guy to thank?
