Hello Viv,

In 801 it's a Hoserck Ltd. Manchester...I'll look at 480's later. The
dimensions are...20" base sides are 12 5/8" sides, the top is a flat top
gable so angles are 7 3/8" and the flat top is 6 3/8". Plot out the lengths
it'll give you an overall height of 15 1/2". Outlet at the top is centered
and 1-1/8" inside tube. The bottom is on the right side, centered 5" from
the edge. Same diameter.

Radiator is 2 1/4" thick...I believe the core is 1 3/4" thick.

I don't know if it is proprietary to any other automobile, tractor or
stationary engine.

It is heavy for it's size.

Cheers,

Stewart
