Does Anyone Know What This Is?
Found this in a old barn.
I think it's a heater, when you turn it on it blows (powerfully) lukewarm air from the three openings. It could be broken so it's not blowing hot air, but if it is a heater, what is the reservoir for? http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...IM002035-1.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...IM002037-1.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...IM002036-1.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...e/IM002038.jpg |

Looks llike a fogger to me.
here are some current units: http://bugsource.com/cyclone_fogger.html and here is one that looks to be your unit: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/fogmaster-micro-jet-ulv-fogger-7401-p-156.html Ron wrote: Found this in a old barn.

Does Anyone Know What This Is?
I tried to find out why yours says Selig on the motor housing, and
came up with this site: http://www.artery.org/Selig-PioneerNeon.htm it actually made some interesting reading. I suspect Selig bought enough machines from Fogmaster ( http://www.fogmaster.com/tri-jet.html ) to have them house branded, a bit like Craftsman.

Ron,
I guess we are finished communicating. I do really resent your arrogance in suggesting that I bottom post. I top post on purpose and with full knowledge. I resent having to scroll through page(s) of stuff to see that some bright, enlightened poster followed some of the conventions, failed to snip anything, and ended up saying, "yea, me too!" I am really hard pressed to believe that anyone capable of operating a computer and communicating at any other level feels the need to repeat the previous conversation to be able to remember what the conversation was about. I do not do it for telephone conversations, personal letter writing, telegrams, or any other communicating that I do. I really thought the information and knowledge were much more important than any archaic outmoded conventions from early dial up years and before. I'm sorry you feel as you do, I will NOT change. Here is the current Selig offering of the Fogmaster branded sprayer with full explanation of how, when, and where it should be used: http://www.seligind.com/ProductCatalog/ProductMain.ASP?img=Products&searchTerms=fogger&CI D=22&productid=K303&ProductName=FOGGER%2C+FOGMASTE R+&img= It should probably be noted they were quite common to used in a dairy barn.

You are taking what I wrote the wrong way. Many ppl read these NG's and it's much easier for a "lurker" to follow the conversation if the posts are bottom posted. Plus the fact if someone Googles a topic they can read the entire conversation w/o interruption. I always "Google" a question before asking, and sometimes the posts don't make sense because of top-posting. I really appreciate your help! And this http://www.fogmaster.com/tri-jet.html IS the exact fogger that I have. |

DanG (remove the sevens) - Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Dan, Bottom posting is the custom in newsgroups. If you don't follow the custom, people will advise you, as the poster did, in a nice way. Just because other forms of communication do it the other way, does not mean it carries over to here. If you go to the UK, and demand to drive like you do in the US (and most other places), you will meet with resistence. As they say, when in Rome... Hope this helps, being new to newsgroups is not always easy. -Jim |

Does Anyone Know What This Is?
I don't expect you to change, but if you haven't already seen this brief web page perhaps you could spare a few moments to look at it. It explains, even with some humor, the reasons why most experienced Usenet users prefer to trim postings and then reply in line or bottom posting style. http://www.xs4all.nl/~wijnands/nnq/nquote.html Yes trimming AND bottom posting is better, but if you're not going to trim, top-posting makes it far less painful. Actually, for a lot of posts, the best thing would probably be to stare at it for a while, and then decide not to post at all. |

Does Anyone Know What This Is?
Jim,
I'm sure not new to computers or newsgroups. My top posting is a firm choice. I have always felt the custom was strange and contrived and I, for one, decided to refuse. You decide for yourself as you see fit. jtpr wrote: On Apr 22, 10:48 pm, "DanG" wrote: Ron, I guess we are finished communicating. I do really resent your arrogance in suggesting that I bottom post. I top post on purpose and with full knowledge.

I am really hard pressed to believe that anyone capable of operating a computer and communicating at any other level feels the need to repeat the previous conversation to be able to remember what the conversation was about. I do not do it for telephone conversations, personal letter writing, telegrams, or any other communicating that I do. I really thought the information and knowledge were much more important than any archaic outmoded conventions from early dial up years and before. I'm sorry you feel as you do, I will NOT change.

Yep, that's gotta be what it is. So what exactly do you use one of these for? Fog up your *entire* home with insecticide to kill off bugs? Btw, would you please bottom post so we can keep the conversation in context. -- ______________________________ Keep the whole world singing . . . .

If you don't follow the custom, people will advise you, as the poster did, in a nice way. Just because other forms of communication do it the other way, does not mean it carries over to here. If you go to the UK, and demand to drive like you do in the US (and most other places), you will meet with resistence. As they say, when in Rome... Hope this helps, being new to newsgroups is not always easy. -Jim -- ______________________________ Keep the whole world singing . . . . DanG (remove the sevens) |

No need to scroll through weeks and weeks of stuff when you are just clicking one reply after another. Top posting makes not just the best sense, but the only sense. |
