Scope and content
This mobile outdoor heater, manufactured by Heatlox Co. of Tacoma, will be shipped to Alaska by Pan American in order that plane interiors and motors could be warmed up in minus zero degree temperatures. Pan Am representatives and store employees are pictured with the 3,000-lb. furnace outside Heatlox offices at 4320 South Tacoma Way on October 9, 1941. The heater would consume five gallons of fuel oil per hour and cost $1,000.
