solved. Eynon four inches of thin

the wire. The asbestos acted as a
wick and the heated oil vaporised
enough oil to start the engine. AS
soon as the engine is started, the
: .aksctricity is turned off and vaporiza-
ton is maintained by the burning OF
a little oil in combustion chamber.
A tast proved that car could be
driven 60 miles on four and half gall
