In my research into FGE, I have accumulated ads, photos and other resources regarding FGE experimentation with the Waukesha system. Part of the problem was they had so much stuff hanging on the

Re: Waukesha Diesel-Icer

Tony, Thanks. I felt like it must not have gone over very well. However, I cannot find the pictures you speak of in the PFE book. I did find a couple small photos of Preco "Cargotemp" equipment
