    Hi, here are some photos of a favourite stove; a Radius No.6 dating I believe from the 1940s.
    This is a classic three-leg, brass tank, stove of about 2-pints capacity, fitted with a regulated burner.
    This particular regulated silent burner is the best preforming example of regulated burner that I have ever used, being very controllable and producing excellent flame-pattern over the whole range.

    Best Regards,
    Kerophile.

    Hi, I just found this "As Received" image of the above Radius No.6 stove. As you can see it came to me with a simple silent burner, and room for improvement;

    Another very fine fettle Kerophile, I really like the look of that stove, all flowing and curved.

    Regards,

    Further to my ignorant message about the Radius No. 6, Blackdog has directed me to the Gallery where I found Kerophile’s photos and commentary about his example of this stove ( very exciting that was)
    And even more interesting was the discovery that Kerophile’s stove does not have the small nut braised into the tank for emptying excess fuel. I will try to follow the directions from the Swedish master about posting photos. But I should point out ( in spite of the deafening jeers I can hear from members) that there are some people, and I am one, who through old age or incompetence or both have huge problems with technical matters and posting photos of my Radius will tax me to the utmost. However, I will try.

    I have taken one photo of the Radius with the drainage nut.
    It's posted here.
