Charcoal burning truck “Burning charcoal or coke in the presence of a small amount of steam, the portable generator shown installed on the truck at the right and in the phantom [illustration] drawing below produces a combustible gas that will operate trucks and autos. Fuel is fed into the burner at the top, water drips into the fire chamber and incomplete combustion takes place, sending carbon monoxide, free hydrogen, and some methane to the engine through a system of filters that cool and cleanse the gas. The device is made by M.&R., Products, Inc., of Brooklyn, New York, and Kalamazoo, Mich.”
