In the cold you have to make your own heat. Thanks to Mark for helping me out that night. Steel Wool spinning on Mt. Washington. Back out there tomorrow. If you like my work the best way to see it is to get a print. Contact me for prints of any of my work. dereklawrence138.myportfolio.com
Comfort, weather indicator
You know that it’s raw and cold and rainy when she does this.....DD reports that she cuddled up next to her last night.
During my high school years after 5 of my siblings had already left home, my dad realized milking a few cows was no longer financially viable so he sold them. Once these moving portable heaters were gone, the barn took on a whole different character during winter .
Anyone who grew up on a farm can tell you there was a significant difference in the outdoors temperature compared to the comparative warmth of entering a barn where cows and calves raised the thermometer to more comfortable levels.
Exterran's laydown yard of fabricated in line heaters. These are used to super heat products run through a series of these, such as oil or even steam.
This somewhat rare and unusual car/truck took Best in Class at the 2024 Lime Rock Concours Show. The truck was developed around Studebaker's Dictator car, (looks more like their Commander model, so the info could be wrong) used it's chassis along the front and rear styling features of the car. This hybrid car/truck predated Ford's Ranchero and Chevrolet's El Camino by around 20 years.
The Studebaker Coupe Express is a passenger car based coupe utility, produced by the Studebaker Corporation of South Bend, Indiana, between 1937 and 1939. Featuring an automobile styled cab and flared rear fenders right off the Studebaker Dictator, it was sold both with a manufacturer supplied pick up style metal bed, and as a rolling chassis and cab to be fitted with a bed or boxes by the purchaser.
The Coupe Express was designed by Raymond Loewy and utilized the Dictator passenger car frame, running gear, and front sheet metal. A new body stamping was made to form the cab back. The model was sold both with a manufacturer supplied metal bed and as a cab and chassis, with the Dictator’s automobile-style sweepingly flared rear fenders attached. A service box, built to specification, would be fabricated by (or for) the end user (such as a plumber or electrician).
The truck was powered by the larger of Studebaker's L-head six-cylinder flathead engines and mated to a 3-speed manual transmission. Studebaker offered a Borg-Warner 3-speed transmission with overdrive as an option. Other options included a radio, heater, wire reinforced sliding back window and turn indicators. Two optional wheels were available, including a stamped steel disc wheel and a stamped steel 'artillery' spoked wheel.
Production for the 1937 model year was approximately 3,000 units.
The truck's passenger cab was restyled in 1938 to reflect the modernized passenger car sheet metal resulted a slightly longer pickup bed. Production for 1938 was approximately 1,200 units.
The 1939 model was again remodeled to reflect Studebaker's annual design updates. Production was approximately 1,000 units. The Coupe Express model was discontinued after the 1939 model year, and Studebaker did not offer a successor model for 1940.
Studebaker introduced the M-Series pickup truck 1941, while the company used the Coupe Express name in advertising for a time,[citation needed] but no M-Series trucks were ever officially designated as the Coupe Express.
The fact that Studebaker itself labeled it a “coupe” rather than a truck (a very different thing at that time; retained a stylish, even luxurious, interior instead of replacing it with a more utilitarian one; and never named or officially referred to any of its actual pickup trucks with the terms “coupe“ or “express“, further distance it from being labeled as one.
Shutter, not so much enjoying the heat from the wall furnace as being fascinated by her shadow.
Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, and a happy New Year all!
This heater I pass at least twice a day as it's in my stairway. This time it was lit by beautiful side light caused by the reflected Western sun.
