Physical Description:
A large, complex, but damaged, dented, and bent assembly of boilers, surrounded by copper tubing. Large, hoizontal boilers measure 1 3/4" (H) x 1 3/4" (W) x 16.5" (L).
These boilers are connected on both end by bent, copper, tubes. This object seems experimental. No original picture references can be found at present. The object's size indicates an evolution of bigger experimental aerodrome models.
