I'm having a hard time seeing my window seat radiator, but I can snap some terrible pics. Can you tell anything from this pic that I could look up?

    It's a five-column window radiator

    the tables for this can be found in Dan's book "E.D.R." .

    great!

    that's already more than I could tell. I wasn't sure if it would be 4 or 5 with one down the center. Is the gold/copper color normal, or is that just my flash?



    Will I really be able to find this radiator in the EDR book without any identifying name or anything? I must admit, I'm reluctant to spend the money on this particular book, for a one time identification of the two radiators I don't recognize. The other books are excellent resources to own, but the EDR book is more of a rental in my opinion

    By the time that was made

    radiators were pretty much standardized across the various brands, though not all makers offered all conceivable patterns. So you'd find one whose height and section type matched yours, and get the rating from that table.



    The gold color is one of the usual metallic-paint colors used at the time. Silver was the other popular one.
