Ah yes the old Motor Wheel Company DuoTherm made in Lansing Michigan. They started out making car wheels and rims I think around 1918 possibly earlier. They started making the heat stoves because they already had the machines for making round bends in heavy steel and they could diversify if the auto industry got slow. There was one of those in the family farm tenant house for years although I never used it , the people who lived there told me how it worked.I think it may have had a blower on it on the right side as you faced the stove but I think that was just to blow air around the drum if extra heat was needed. I don't think the blower motor worked on that stove for years. I think it just had a filter and control valve possibly worked like a drip oiler on an old gas engine.It always had plain old furnace oil ran to it. It was scrapped out about 5-6 years ago because the bottom finally burned out of it. It was used every year since it was new possibly since the 30s. I could ask the guy who last used it where the air came in but I would bet it did have air holes around the lower part of the sides. If you are planning on using it be sure to double check the condition of the bottom! It isn't worth burning down the house or shop if it has an iffy bottom.
