Radius 1C, 1920s

Hi here are some photos of a Radius No.1C stove which I acquired from Washington State, USA in 2004. I believe the burner is later than the stove, as the roarer burner which came with the stove had a pin-hole leak on its upper surface.

The Radius 1C is a conventional 2-pint classic brass-tank stove, with fixed legs and a roarer burner. It is paraffin-fuelled:





This stove has the early form of the famous Radius "Shooting Star" logo, and the "butterfly-style" filler cap is also a feature of early classic stoves.

The stove is well-made and the tank markings are very crisp. I do like Radius stoves!

Hi I should have said that the pan-holder is an un-marked generic, which came with the stove.

I could find no mention of the Radius 1C model in neither the 1932, nor the 1950s Radius Catalogues shown on this Site. Both the Radius 1 and 1S are given, but there is no mention of a Radius 1C.

Best Regards,
Kerphile.

 

Hi, here are a couple of photographs of the markings on the top of the roarer burner, which was fitted to this stove when I first received it.
The burner has a pin-hole leak which I have yet to try to repair:



This burner has Cyrillic text as well as Swedish/English and Arabic. I believe it is an earlier burner than the one currently fitted to this No.1C stove.

Best Regards,

How will you repair it, George?

 

Silbraze?

 

Hi Den, first I will pressurise the burner to remind myself where the hole was/is. I will than thoroughly clean the area, and as Rick suggests use either silver-solder or a silbraze-type, higher M.Pt. braze.
I am conscious that the burner itself is of brazed construction and if I am not careful I could end up with melting other joints unintentionally.

I have many friends who are better at brazing than I am so I go and bother one of them!

Best Regards,
Kerophile

 

Nice stove! I'm going to pick up one myself as soon as possible

 

Hi, the tank and fittings of this stove are marked AB RADIUS. This mark was used up to around 1938/1940. Later stoves were marked "Radius Ltd". This stove is likely pre-1938.

The stove is from the 1920s. The burner is a 1930s 1/37. It would have had a roarer burner or a silent UFO burner.

 

Got myself one yesterday. Has the roarer burner and the special silent "ufo" burner aswell.

 

so anybody knows how is a 1C different to regular no1? what does 1C mean?

 

1C in 1920 have similar description as the 1 S:or in 1925 so it is just the first name Radius used for their version of the 1S.
