Summary: re: old style radiator humidifiers

Sorry for posting a reply, but mailing from our system 
doesn't seem to work.

I was glad to see your request for info, as I have been trying
to locate some of that type humidifier for a couple of years and
all the store clerks look at me as if I'm crazy when I describe
them. I had begun to think I had only imagined having seen them
before.  If you get any responses on where available I would
appreciate the info.

I did locate something similar around here. It was a small, thin,
galvanized, sheet metal container designed to slide into the small
openings in the middle of the elements of the radiator ( that is
it fits through the middle of the radiator ). It has a small flared
neck that is left extending from the end of the radiator for filling.
I did not buy one because (1) it seemed too expensive (around $10
I think), (2) the water capacity seemed very small and so it would
need constant filling, and (3) I didn't think I would like the look
of the galvanized metal neck extending from the radiator. The 
store I found that in was Dick's Direct Sales in Hope, NJ (It's
a regular hardware and building supplies store, not a large 
discount house as the name might imply).
