I saw one of these on the highway last night going the other way, kind of stood out.

I drew this when I was a kid. Found it when I was going through a box of stuff.

A friend of mine works for them, the hired him away from a good company with good compensation and I was surprised to find out that he left them. I am looking forward to seeing one of these, hopefully driving one to compare to the Tesla.

^^^I had one exactly like that in the 80's. Wish I'd never sold it.

I parked next to this beauty at church in San Diego Sunday:






Anyone know what these were for BITD?

Probably smudge pot safety torches.

Stoopid problem.

That tank looks ancient and from what I read the safety what-cha-ma-call-it was plugged.

Thanks Jolly - So like an early version of a road flair?

Around here they are used in rail switchyards in winter to prevent switches from freezing

Extreme method to prevent switches from freezing..

Yes, they were also used at road construction sites as a warning for motorists, much as traffic cones and barrels are used today. In the past, there was no such thing as a reflective device and the lit smudge pots were the warning lights for drivers. They used kerosene for fuel. A wick was used to bring the fuel up to the top of the smudge pot where it burned. They came in many shapes but the ones I remember looked like cannon balls with a lit fuse.
