United States--North Carolina--Pitt County (N.C.)--Greenville (N.C.) Florence-Mayo Co. This is actually a set of kerosene burning curers. The circular chimneys sat on a round "bowl" that held an asbestos wick which soaked up fuel whose level was controlled by a simple float and needle valve "carburetor" located outside the barn. My family held a dealership in Yadkin Co. NC from 1937 untill production ceased in the middle 70's. I helped install a ton of these things before bulk barhs took over. They required close monitoring because they were not thermostatically controlled but were very safe and economical. Beat the heck out of curing with wood. local, filename 3029.0001 27613372 image/tiff 6.0 PRONOM PUID: fmt/10 little endian uncompressed MD5 57aef8e2228af5107ad151d230da970f ecu:digital_collections 4145 3328 Grayscale BlackIsZero 100 mm 125 mm 20081015 Digital Collections Epson Perfection V750 PRO Silverfast Ai v6.4.4r7 object plane in. 875 1 875 1 16 integer 1 internal
