Seriously, imagine using one of these in a house with gas lighting which developed a minor leak or a fixture with a broken mantle...

I'm glad you like it. That machine is mine. 
It really is fascinating to watch.
I haven't seen Wayne posting here for a while.
Of the three different case designs Paillard offered in the hot air lineup, he has two.

A classic example of "doing it the hard way": all the preparation, plus the fire risk, just to save a few seconds of winding.

The machine was marketed in the UK as the Apollo No.10, and was said to run for up to 12 hours with one charge of methylated spirit.
