[Gasification] kalle dimensions?

[Thomas Reed]

Dear Jim Mason (and Jim Fournier):

You are correct that this is probably the most explicit explanation of a 
chemically and mechanically sophisticated invention ever published.  I 
also recommend it to all as fascinating reading and inventing. 

There is a picture of the gasifier mounted on a sedan at the end of the 
article.  The height of the car is 5 cm on my screen and the diameter of 
the gasifier is 2 cm.  If the true car height is 2 m, then the gasifier 
has a diameter of (2/5*2) 80 cm.  It looks rather "fat".  It was 
probably made in different sizes for different engines, just as later 
the Imbert/WWII gasifier had to be sized to the engine.
