Hi
I was wondering if anyone had access to an original Locomobile burner, the type that took in air from tubes in the base of the burner? A member of our NW chapter of the SACA is looking to build a replica of this burner for his Locomobile and he needs to know the size of the holes in the burner plate, both for the fuel and for the air. He is also looking for images of the wagonette style body.
Thanks, Eric

My original 1903 Locomobile with an 18" burner has holes that are 46/1000ths for the burner and 1/2" for the air. There are 20 burner holes drilled around each air opening.

Dear Eric
Hear is a photo of an original Grout burner of similar design.
A member of SACA-NE has restored it and it is now working.
