But, according to my research, and information I've garnered from Ford/Lincoln documents, drawings, etc., the shroud/collector was used on hot air heater systems from '37 to '48 on the LZ.
Yeah,Im not sure when Ford started using collector at the radiator,I know they did in 40 . None of the Zephyr blowers Ive seen used from 37-39 has a provision for the duct to attach to it,they have a door that slides open but the later ones starting in 40 does.Just one of those mysteries I guess.
