Topic: Radiator shapes list: good idea or not?

[marmer]

Would it be helpful and desirable for us to collaborate on a list of the various radiator shapes that are commonly seen?

Rolls-Royce-style (Sizaire Freres, etc.)

Round (Delaunay-Belleville, etc.)

Sharp-vee (Benz, etc.)

and others (Square?)

Or would such a list be a burden for puzzle creators?  What do you think?

It could be an interesting project for someone.
In March 1913 "The Autocar" magazine printed 13 pages of radiator/bonnet drawings in alphabetical order from "Aberdonia" to "Unic" 12 on each page.
As an example, picking up on the round shape, it shows Bentall, Calthorpe, Coltman, Delaunay-Bellville, Germain, Hotchkiss, Maudslay, Pick, Pilain, Riley, Sheffield-Simplex, and Spyker.
and here's a sample page with a few you'll recognise.

I think that itīs a very good idea
