Packard Forum Index » Pre-War (1899-1942)

Would anyone happen to have any dimensions on the prewar package shelf AC vent. Any firm numbers would be a help. This photo (don't know whee it came from) is a good view of the vent and shows what I think is a subtle size change due to a curvature on the rear side.

I am thinking the base might be something around 3 x 10 because of a depression in the shelf sheetmetal where the cut through was probably made. Just a guesstimate though -- because of the intermediate attachment piece between the shelf and the vent it is hard to say if that is accurate.

please send a PM if you are looking at making one

HH56, that photo came from me and taken of the unit on a 1941 180 type 1442; it's an original Bishop & Babcock installation.

Dave, Thanks for the attribute on the photo and for taking such a detailed view. One of the better ones I've seen showing how the vent is positioned. My apologies for not giving credit where due.

PM sent.
