If you get that feeling you are dangerously close to losing conciousness and being fatally overcome. Could be, my bud didn't think I was bad enough to go to the ER but who knows, it was twenty years ago iirc... Took a couple of hours to feel better in the fresh air that much I do remember. Never worked around a salamander type heater again after that, no matter what the boss said. ===== What is a "salamander type heater"? I remember them as a fairly tall cylindrical space heater, fired by kerosene. I remember them because when my father built his retail store, he used a couple of them to help cure the concrete floor, which was poured in the winter. I was just a little kid, but I do remember them being referred to as salamanders. They were operated before the showroom glass was installed...the store was open to the elements where the windows and doors would go. They gave off a hell of a lot of heat. The put out 250 000 BTU per hour, more than most residental furnaces. They will run fine of fuel oil or Diesel, but beware the sulfur. Casady I don't recall them being at the store for more than a couple of weeks. Once the glass and doors went in and the furnace was installed, they went back to wherever they were borrowed or rented from. I seem to remember they were kind of noisy, too, with a loud hissing noise, but that could be a false memory. Hell, it was 60 years ago, when my father moved his retail store from downtown New Haven to a western suburb. -- Want to discuss recreational boating and fishing in a forum where personal insults are not allowed? http://groups.google.com/group/rec-boating-fishing |
