Enjoy working with this handy tool. We'd like to know the manufacturer, model and year of manufacture.

Goudard et Mennesson radiator, aka "Solex."  Is it De Dion Bouton, or is that too obvious?

DeDion Bouton isn't too obvious, but it's spot on. I'm locking this so you can specify the model and year of manufacture.

Bill, Dux is a great guess!  I once found a picture of a WWI-era Dux with a captured French Goudard et Mennesson radiator and I posted it as a puzzle.

Sorry, I've been a little inactive lately.  I will try to do better.

Go ahead and unlock it.  Let's see what Bill can come up with.  I retired from my job at the end of March and have had some medical visits (nothing bad, just time-consuming).

That must be it, but I don't have any further details.

I wish you a happy retirement and, above all, that your health checkups are all those of a young man with a bright future.

My source, a book, mentions horsepower and year of manufacture of the mystery refuse lorry. I have no idea if it can be found online.

1914?  :disbelief: He's quite a bit younger.

Are we sure about that 1920s-vintage date?  I'm seeing sources which list 1921 as the first year for car-type radiators and pneumatic tires.
