Interesting. When the guy at the radiator place was telling me that they
repair them all the time, he did say "all sizes" and he said "even ones like
this" -- raising his hand up over his head meaning 6 or 7 foot high units.
I never knew those existed or, if they did, that what I think of as an auto
radiator repair shop would fix those or fix what I have.



The small coils are for room heaters, the big ones go into huge systems
for auditoriums, shopping malls, theaters. We also made some for naval
ships that could handle high pressure steam.
